Darrell Issa wants an investigation every week, against Obama and the Democrats. Isn’t turnabout fair play, especially since the law requires it. By Constitution, treaties ratified by the Senate become US law. Several require that all instances of torture be investigated, and every day we fail to do so is an insult to the world community.

The new U.N. torture expert urged the United States on Tuesday to conduct a full investigation into torture under the Bush administration and prosecute offenders as well as senior officials who ordered it.

2. Doesn't he know a constitutional scholar has explained looking forward is

an irrefutable defense?
The mistake made by most torturers is that they hired lawyers that did not know the power of that defense or were simply ignorant of the law and how some are not subject to it.

He needs to pay attention to those that know the law better.
