This Just Makes Me Sick

[Obama exonerates CIA torturers](http://www.wsws.org/articles/2009/apr2009/tort-a17.shtml)

>In closing, the US president declares, “This is a time for reflection, not retribution ... nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past. Our national greatness is embedded in America's ability to right its course in concert with our core values, and to move forward with confidence. That is why we must resist the forces that divide us, and instead come together on behalf of our common future.”

>What cynical rubbish! As if torture can be stopped by exonerating the torturers and concealing their crimes from the public!

>The message is clear: anyone who demands accountability for the crimes committed under the Bush administration (and continued under the Obama administration) is acting to “divide” the nation.
