>>> US will have to live with the shame for decades that it's harboring war criminals, and it may even impact its dealings with other countries in the future. Clearly not a student of history. The US has been harboring criminals since WWII when Operation Paperclip brought Nazi scientists back here to help build the atomic bomb. >>> US will be in the history books as a country that not only allowed, but keeps condoning torture by refusing to punish the torturers. Just like every other country in the world. I certainly don't condone what they did, but on a relative scale, it's a pretty minor considering what other countries have done and still actively do. If they don't include the atrocities the US committed in Vietnam in history books, you can be assured they won't touch this either. >> Maybe eventually, some new US president will decide that it's time to prosecute and imprison them so US can have a "clean start" in its international relations. Obama already tried being nice to these people we're at war with and look what it got us. He tried to have a "clean slate" with the terrorists, even said he would negotiate with the Taliban. Yes, the same Taliban who behead criminals, do not allow women rights and approve of honor killings. Because you know, he thought you could reason with these people - right?
