Obama has done everything possible since the beginning of his presidency to prevent any accountability for the torture program under Bush. "But why? Wouldn't he love to harm the opposing political team?" some may ask. The answer is because ultimately they are on the same team: the U.S. government team. And Obama doesn't want any challenge to the enormous presidential power that he continues to expand. If Bush was ever held accountable for his crimes, surely that would mean Obama would be held accountable for his, too.
