Never Happened?

Imagine a Republican President ruling out pursuing investigations and criminal charges against a previous Republican administration with such obvious and plentiful evidence of guilt?

Would never happen, would it?

And if they're serious about letting these acts of torture be the new acceptable legal reality, then the U.S owes a formal apology to all of the evil people who have been convicted and punished for water boarding in this last century. Since no one is going to apologize to the Nazis, Japanese,Khmer Rouge etc., this just points out the absurdity of this position to look the other way when we do it and to hell with justice when it's not convenient.
