Obama Continues To Protect The Bush Mob
ACLU demands disclosure of torture memos
"ACLU expresses concern that the US President might not publicly release the previous administration's memos authorizing torture.
"Withholding this information would be completely inconsistent with the Obama administration's promise of transparency and its commitment to turn the page on the abuses of the last eight years," said Jameel Jaffer of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
A federal court has given the government until Thursday to either turn over the memos in response to a freedom of information act lawsuit brought by the ACLU, or explain why they cannot be released.
Jaffer argued that full disclosure was "vital to the historical record and to informing the public about what actions were carried out in its name."
added - Joking in the white house about a torture investigation
At a white house briefing, David Corn asks press secretary Robert Gibbs about Spain indicting the Bush mob Torture 6:
"Have you spoken to the Spanish government about this case? He seized on my use of the word “you” and, with a broad smile, said, “I have not spoken with the Spanish.” Reporters in the room laughed."

Sounds like he had someone from the CIA do the talking.
