Not a hopeful sign

'Barack Obama today released four top secret memos that allowed the CIA under the Bush administration to torture al-Qaida and other suspects held at Guantánamo and secret detention centres round the world.
But, in an accompanying statement, Obama ruled out prosecutions against those who had been involved. It is a "time for reflection, not retribution," he said.'
Guardian 17.4.09

So no action against illegal acts of torture by the US government from Obama then. Does this answer my question of 5.11.08? The signs are not good.
