No charges against CIA officials for waterboarding.
Seeking to move beyond what he calls a "a dark and painful chapter in our history," President Barack Obama said Thursday that CIA officials who used harsh interrogation tactics during the Bush administration will not be prosecuted.
The government also released four memos long held secret by the Bush administration in which its lawyers approved in extensive and often graphic detail the tough interrogation methods used against 28 ****** suspects, the fullest and now complete government accounting of the techniques. The rough tactics range from waterboarding - simulated drowning - to using a plastic neck collar to slam detainees into walls.
