Human Rights Watch calls on Obama to begin an investigation against George Bush and his entourage

"There is a strong case for investigation against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Tenet, who gave the nod to torture and war crimes … The current president is still likely to torture as a failed political solution, rather than as a crime. Without a clear legal prohibition of torture confirm his instructions to stop the unlawful use of interrogation techniques may be at any time, easily reversed, "- cited executive director Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth reported on the official website of the organization. Human rights activists have prepared a 107-page report, "Torture away with -2", where, according to the authors, they collect information that gives grounds for criminal investigations against Bush and his inner circle, including the then Vice-President Dick Cheney Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and CIA Director George Tenet. Methods of "intensive interrogation" was approved by the U.S. authorities during the outbreak after the September 11 campaign against terrorism. Captured by U.S. intelligence agencies, foreign citizens were interrogated by this method, which led to sharp criticism of human rights defenders to the White House and Pentagon.
