Obama: Interrogation prosecution possible – msnbc.com — Does anyone but me think this may be some sort of payback for Cheney’s recent mouthing off? Will anything come of it? I doubt it.
President Barack Obama left the door open Tuesday to prosecuting Bush administration officials who devised the legal authority for gruesome terrorism-suspect interrogations, saying the United States lost “our moral bearings” with use of the tactics.
