I may be overreacting here, but if Holder is saying "we won't torture", is this some sort of self-incriminating statement?? Unless in a week or so some whistleblower that is moping blood from underground CIA interrogation rooms speaks up, my thought is that US does not torture, period. Why would you then have a US Government, DOJ and Attorney General himself to come up and reassure about this?
