CIA Interogation

Seven former CIA Directors sent a letter to Barack Obama asking him to quite pursuing the harsh interrogations used after 9/11/01. The bush administration only took one of the cases to court and tried it. Barack Obama now wants to reopen the cases and bring them back to trial. The CIA spokesmen Paul Gimigliano says that they are still cooperating with their review and they would like the reopened cases to be dropped.

This has been going on for a long time. The cases of harsh interrogation happened in 2001 and only one case was tried and that was in 2007. They dropped the cases after that and now they want to reopen them. I think they should reopen them because one man was sent to prison for eight years after he beat an afghan man that later died. There are more cases of people being beaten and then dieing but this is the only one that was tried. Its really not fair to the guy in prison that hes the only one that gets in trouble out of all the brutal interrogations. The CIA's excuse for the cases to be dropped is they are dealing with their review. That shouldn't matter and these cases should be tried to the full just like the one mans was. Its wrong that they take Afghan prisoners and beat them until they die.
