Torture was inflicted. We’ve known this for years. It was authorized from the highest level of the previous administration (either GW or Cheney). We’ve also known that for years.
We need to set policies in place to make sure it never happens again, and move on. Prosecuting the previous administration or those who were just following orders would only muck the country down in more partisan bickering while there are bigger issues at hand (Economy, Iraq, Afghanistan, Health Care).
