Source: No charges seen over interrogation memos

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Justice Department investigators say Bush administration lawyers who approved harsh interrogation techniques of terror suspects should not face criminal charges, according to a draft report that also recommends two of the three attorneys face possible professional sanctions.
The Obama administration decided last month to make public legal memos authorizing the use of harsh interrogation methods but not to prosecute CIA interrogators who followed the advice outlined in the memos.
That decision angered conservatives who accused President Barack Obama of selling out the CIA, and from liberals who thought he was being too forgiving of practices they - and Obama - call torture.

Ok guys, I've thought that people have been drinking the Obama Kool-Aid but this is CREEPY. After reading this, I truly believe that Hillary was going against the Bilderberg Group's desire to have Obama as president by running herself. Seeing that her husband has attended multiple meetings, it wouldn't surprise me if his weird anger outbursts and demeanor at Hillary's events was an effort to sabotage her campaign.
