President Barack Obama Leaves Open Possibility of Prosecution for CIA Memos Regarding Interrogation Techniques
U.S.
President Barack Obama has left open the possibility that officials who penned
memos regarding interrogation techniques during the Bush administration could
face prosecution.
Obama
has said it would be up to the attorney general to decide whether or not those
officials who signed off on torture techniques would face legal action. The
memos in question detailed methods that CIA agents could utilize when interrogating
terrorism suspects.
Efforts
to prosecute the officials of those memos would be a direct shift from what
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel stated earlier. Emanuel had said that the
Obama administration would not look to pursue those who “devised policy,”
rather they wanted to move forward.
Obama
seemed to distance himself and his administration from that approach on Tuesday
when he stated, “With respect to those who formulated those legal decisions, I
would say that that is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general
within the parameters of various laws.”
Obama
has faced growing pressure from his Democratic Party to leave the door open for
prosecution as news of the memos, many detailing the techniques used against a
pair of al-Qaeda suspects, became public. Among the techniques mentioned were waterboarding
and sleep deprivation.
Those
close to the Bush administration as well as many CIA officials have defended the
methods, saying they were effective techniques in gaining valuable information that
protected American lives.
