Did you miss the fact that the Justice Dept. is pursuing prosecutions of CIA interrogators?

I wasn’t aware of any charges or prosecutions; last I heard, they were moving forward with investigations into whether CIA personnel violated CIA rues or policies that existed at the time - something I would heartily endorse, given that you don’t want these guys operating outside the rules that are laid out for them.

Any attempt to bring charges for violating rules written later would be cause for much concern, as would any attempt to turn such an investigation into a fishing expedition. But so far, I haven’t heard that either of these things has happened. Just that they’re interested in whether the rules as they existed at the time were followed.
