a terrible, damaging, decision should be called to account for that decision -- Democratic or Republican.

-----------------
Members of the CIA tortured people (Obama's unforgettable quote "We tortured some folks." )

He opposed prosecution of those individuals. He stated this within the first month in office.

Holder closed the CIA cases without prosecution a few months later.

This was a terrible, incredibly damaging decision that was a slap in the face to all who were called upon to condone or take part in war crimes, and refused to do so. Heroic people like General Consul of the Navy Alberto Mora.

This is not "bashing." These are facts.

Would I go to see Obama if he spoke here? Of course.

Would I heartily shake his hand? Absolutely.

But if I had a chance, I would say something like. "There's one thing you did that I think was incredibly damaging to our country, and that was your administration's failure to prosecute war criminals in the intelligence services." If he showed any interest in hearing why, I would explain how I think that failure damaged us as a nation.

If you want to call that "bashing," so be it.
