With regard to the Obama administration’s policy of declaring a practice illegal but refusing to prosecute those who did it, I expect this to be applied with an even hand.
President Obama has called torture illegal and outlawed its future use. But he refuses to prosecute those who practiced it in the past.
Therefore I assume we will release the surviving Somalian who pirated an American freighter and took its captain hostage – without prosecution or penalty.
