According to Jan Crawford Greenburg, the Legal Correspondant for ABC News, the left may have no recourse in attempting prosecutions of Bush Whitehouse lawyers who drafted the now famous "Torture Memos".  They were within the law in what they did, so they Obama legal team and legal enemy teams are looking for ethics complaints to the Bar Associations in states where these two have law licenses.  The problem is that the enemies of Bush and so called torture have waited beyond complaint deadlines to file ethics complaints.

You can read Ms. Greenburg's article on the latest Obama team botched legal initiative by clicking on her pic below from her page.



Didn't the Obama team just screw up Ted Steevens prosecution and trigger an investigation of proscuters just a few days ago?  Click on Sen. Steevens pic to read the Chicago Tribune story on that one (make sure to watch the embedded video where Eric Holder gives a pass to the prosecutors who misled the trial).


You may recall these memos were released by Barack Obama's legal team to help our enemies worldwide not be afraid of us anymore because now they know how to beat our interrogations and that we no longer remember our fear of September 11, 2001.

After all, just because Ramsi Yusef and other terrorists bombed the parking garage of the World Trade Center in 1993, doesn't mean that intelligence could not prevent Al-Queda from striking again in 2001.  Could it?

Here is the 1993 bombers and some of the horror they created. You can click on the video to watch it or click on the photo to go to the FBI's page on the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.



Despite being captured and questioned, they tried again in 2001.  In trial, mastermind they were defiant or silent.



In waiting until George Bush's attorney general to leave office, they missed a deadline in turning in John Yoo to the bar association to get his law license taken away.  They had four years to do it and now the 2002 and 2003 memos are more than 4 years old.



Likewise, the attorneys also know that this also dramatically weakens their case with Jay Bybee who was an editor, not author of the memos.  



Here is my take on what the state bar eithics boards are likely to say "It's too late for this complaint against the main guy John Yoo.  Now you are trying to get his underling, Jay Bybee, for his small role for the same thing that you didn't care enough about before?  Case dismissed!  Mr Holder and company will please follow statute of limitations requirements in all future complaints before this board please.  Next case please."

 

I have included a pic of ACLU founder Roger Baldwin and Attorney General Eric Holder.  Holder was a managing partner at Covington & Burling, the firm that is defending Guantanimo Detainees in civilian courts here in the USA.  Here is the paragraph from the Covington & Burling site that is linked to in Eric Holder's photo below.
