Obama "screws up" or does the right thing?

Having said that, I also believe, as the President has indicated, that those individuals who operated pursuant to a legal opinion that indicated that that was proper and legal ought not to be prosecuted or investigated.”

So, all They need is for a high-ranking government law officer to declare, in a legal opinion which can be kept secret on grounds of National Security, that Torture x or y or z is proper and legal, and Their operatives have a Get Out Of Jail card.... Forever and ever... Amen....
