Attorney General Eric Holder and the Obama Justice Department have dropped their investigation of CIA interrogators who aggressively questioned terrorist detainees without bringing criminal charges against them.
As the nation’s Attorney General Holder was appointed to find a federal prosecutor to look into the interrogation practices during George W. Bush’s presidency. However, it is believed that the interrogation methods helped the Navy SEALs locate al Qaeda’s leader Osama bin Laden.
President Obama refused to admit that these interrogation methods of the Bush administration helped locate and kill bin Laden.
In 2009, Holder expanded his CIA investigations to include a search into the CIA’s interrogation of detainees overseas. The expansion followed the public release of tan inspector general’s report that claimed CIA interrogators threatened to kill a suspected terrorist’s family and told another detainee he’d be forced to watch his mother raped.
American Civil Liberties officials said the outcome of the investigation was a scandal and that the CIA “undermined the universally recognized prohibition” on torture and other abusive treatment.
