Interesting. Conservatives losing their moral bearings.

President Barack Obama left the door open Tuesday to prosecuting Bush administration officials who devised the legal authority for gruesome terror-suspect interrogations, saying the United States lost "our moral bearings" with use of the tactics.

The question of whether to bring charges against those who devised justification for the methods "is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general within the parameters of various laws and I don't want to prejudge that," Obama said. The president discussed the continuing issue of terrorism-era interrogation tactics with reporters as he finished an Oval Office meeting with visiting King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Obama also said he could support a congressional investigation into the Bush-era terrorist detainee program, but only under certain conditions, such as if it were done on a bipartisan basis. He said he worries about the impact that high-intensity, politicized hearings in Congress could have on the government's efforts to cope with terrorism.

Funny, since he's keeping those same prisons open and insisting they are outside of judicial oversight.

He's half white, half black. That makes him used to having it both ways.

I think if he was to launch a full investigation, that with the findings he could justify the closures without too much uproar.

Considering Fox has decided to become the official anti-Obama sheep herder, I think it's wise of him to back things up.
