A senior Justice Department official says Attorney General Eric Holder has concluded that CIA operatives who followed the legal guidance they were given will not be prosecuted, even if they used harsh interrogation methods.

If they acted "in good faith and in conformance" to the instructions they had, those officers will not face prosecution for administering even waterboarding and other methods that have since been disavowed.

Obama Follows Bush Policy on Detainee Access to Courts

The Obama administration yesterday appealed a judge's decision granting three detainees at a U.S. military prison in Afghanistan the right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts, arguing partly that compliance would inhibit the future capture of Pakistani citizens for detention by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.

The appeal makes clear that, despite the ruling this month by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, the Obama administration for now wants to stick with a policy set by President George W. Bush that those incarcerated by U.S. troops in foreign prisons have no U.S. legal rights.

Is Obama's War Strategy a Betrayal?

At first, Obama argued that U.S. involvement in the war would end quickly after he became president. As the campaign wore on that urgency migrated to getting the troops out in 16 months.

On Friday, President Obama finally made it official. United States troops will be out of Iraq by the end of 2011 - the timetable worked out with the Iraqi government under former President George Bush.

But what of the 16-month timetable?

The newest version of the Obama plan - on its face - has the United States withdrawing combat troops in 19 months. However, his plan calls for leaving upward of 50,000 of the current 142,000 troops in support positions. This smaller number is carefully being referred to by those in the administration as anything but advisers, a term made politically incorrect by the Vietnam War.

And what if the war goes badly between now and 19 months down the road?

According to statements coming out of the White House, it appears all bets could be off for withdrawing United States troops.

So what did the anti-war movement get with their "agent of change," President Barack Obama?

Little or nothing, it would appear.

Obama has, for all practical purposes, signed onto the Bush Doctrine in Iraq.

But Obama's betrayal doesn't end there.

Obama isn't really bringing troops home. He is moving the numbers to Afghanistan.
