A Bit More ...
Andrew Sullivan (h/t Hilzoy) has a powerful discussion. This includes concerning those memoranda released in 2005, after the 2004 elections, after El Jefe said he was horrified at Abu Ghraib. But, if AS thinks "no one is above the law," the Obama quote is a bit curious. Investigations etc. involve some "spending [of] our time and energy laying blame for the past." And, we will be in "wartime" for years. Will people be above the law for all that time? Painful indeed.
