Obama´s CIA Torture Exemption

So you get your legal department to define what is the on the bounds of torture, tell your agents that it´s okay to use these techniques and then apply them to terrorist subjects who have never seen trial. This was the practice of the US in the Dubya years and although Obama has taken steps to close Guantanamo and banned the methods used, officers involved in torture will not be held accountable according to this article from the BBC. I have to compare this to the attempt of exemption of US citizens from war crimes by the International Criminal Court - hypocritical bullshit. You´d better be their friend or give in to their bully tactics, because there is no-one to protect you if you don´t.
