In a stunning victory that exonerates the Bush Administration’s use of waterboarding that helped keep the nation safe since the 911 attacks, Newsweek reports that Bush lawyers who were targeted by Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama will be cleared of any wrong doing.
“Now the left is going to be upset: an upcoming Justice Department report from its ethics-watchdog unit, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), clears the Bush administration lawyers who authored the “torture” memos of professional-misconduct allegations.”

This hits keep on coming for the House of O!
This probe should never have happened in the first place and if anyone deserves to be investigated, its President Obama himself for treating terrorists like the common criminal who robbed the liquor store last week.
When will that probe begin?
UPDATE: As of yet not many News outlets are running with this story. Uhmm, I wonder why. But, I wanted to get the reactions of Liberals. So below are the first 20 reactions on the Lib site Think Progress. Some of them are quite funny.

WTF? This is down right depressing. I don’t think the Bush Administration will ever be brought to Justice. All the crimes, all the lies and all the deaths they are responsible for and they will walk away. I not only need a beer, I’m getting a shot of rum.

Sadly, not unexpected. Remember, we mustn’t ‘look back’. Obama thinks it would be rude to do so…

“Good torture”?!?!?!??!
Your logic is a shock to rational minds everywhere. Please crawl back under your rock.

From the Emptywheel link:
Margolis is, however, also tied to the DOJ and its culture for over forty years, not to mention his service in upper management as Associate Attorney General during the Bush Administration when the overt acts of torture and justification by Margolis’ contemporaries and friends were committed.

We owe them a debt of gratitude.
We murdered many such ‘grateful’ detainees, didn’t we? Men we will never know if they were innocent or guilty. AmeriKKKa has a new fan in drhunt.

Even children know better than to torture innocent men. Before Bush, we honored our treaty obligations. Now all of our fighting folks will be subject to the same torture we inflicted on others.

What the hell does that mean/???
Torture sure shocked the minds of impressionable Muslim youth, by turning them into avenging terrorists.
The Military readily acknowleges that all hell broke loose in Iraq after the News of Abu Ghraib hit the streets.

Margolis is needed on urgent business in Lubbock, TX or some other garden spot. Let’s bring some accountability back to some aspect of the federal government.

Because the America you and I read about in school is no longer the country it once was. It was once a proud and honorable country. The likes of Reagan, Bush, Cheney, Fox news destroyed what could have been a wonderful place to live.

You little nazi limpd*cks think there is “good torture”? And you wonder why people call for you to be put in mental hospitals?
drhunt says:
It need not be illegal to do this.
Because only the criminally insane believe this…
drhunt says:
Yoo and Bybee have constructed legal opinions that will stand the test of time.
Only if we become the fascist state you teabaggers are drooling for. I’m not banking on it, neither should you whackjob.
drhunt says:
They define the tools to be used in intelligence gathering. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
LOL! Torture has nothing to do with intelligence gathering, it’s about limpd*ck p*ssies like you needing to feel “powerful” in the face of being made to feel impotent. It’s nothing more than your psychotic insecurity and lunacy that drives it. We owe them a debt of gratitude for exposing what radical extremist lunatics make up the right wing mainstream!
