Protecting the Torture Regime

Gonzales has replaced Kyle Sampson with one Chuck Rosenberg, from the Eastern District of Virginia. One important thing to remember here: this district has been the point of reference for all all cases of torture, assault and homicide involving contractors, including contract soldiers, in the war on terror. Despite many fully investigated cases, the district has done nothing. I've learned a few things about this administration; and one is that it has done all it can both to prevent exposure of its torture policies, to ensure that no serious criminal cases are brought exposing it, and to grant legal impunity for the key civilian implementers of the torture policy.
