The DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility has been rather solicitous of the Bush administration lawyers who provided legal cover for the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation” program. They got to see the draft, comment on it, and then the office took their perspectives into account. That’s in keeping with standard practice to permit OPR targets a right of due response, the department explained. “In the past,” wrote Assistant Attorney General Ronald Welch to Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) on May 4, “former Department officials who were subjects of OPR investigations typically have been permitted to appeal adverse OPR rulings to the Deputy Attorney General’s Office.” In keeping with that spirit, Welch continued, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, his deputy and the OPR chief agreed to “afford the subjects the chance to respond to the report prior to any release.” Such a move, they reasoned, was “fair and reasonably correlates with the process usually applicable to OPR investigations relating to former employees.”

I'm personally sick of these career politicians granting themselves legal loopholes to evade just, much deserved, and overdue prosecution, sentencing, and subsequent imprisonment. There are consequences to the commission of war crimes that the current DOJ is allowing the Bush Administration to circumvent because we the People, the real American government aren't demanding it.
Demand justice!
