Obama: Country should ‘move on’
Print Edition
MINUTES after a US Senate intelligence panel released details of the CIA’s torture of terrorism suspects, President Barack Obama suggested the country should move on.
The US Department of Justice, which has the power to bring criminal charges, looks set to take him at his word.
Criminal prosecutions of those who ran secret prisons and “enhanced interrogations” between 2002 and 2006 look unlikely despite renewed demands by civil rights advocates. So do efforts to hold to account politicians who authorized the CIA actions.
“Rather than another reason to refight old arguments, I hope that today’s report can help us leave these techniques where they belong — in the past,” Obama said.
