CIA officials won't be charged for previous torture

"CIA officials won't be charged for previous torture . . . Attorney General Eric Holder says the government won’t prosecute CIA officials for using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics on terror suspects. . . . Holder said in a statement today it would be unfair to prosecute CIA employees for following the legal advice given at the time. And he says the government will defend any CIA employee in any court action brought in the United States or overseas."
