The Department of Justice announced today that two lawyers from the Bush administration will not face punishment for their role in okay-ing harsh interrogation techniques (including waterboarding). Originally, the lawyers were found to have committed "professional misconduct," but the Dept. of Justice found the men to have merely "excercised poor judgement." Both men left their posts with the new Obama administration taking office, and one now works at CU-Berkeley, while the other is a federal appeals court judge (great). The DOJ's findings angered human rights groups, while top-ranking Republicans are relieved the men aren't facing punishment for their role in "protecting America." Hmmm..wonder how Cheney feels about this...(just kidding. I have a pretty good idea.)
