Julia Williams But despite the gruesome details, nobody at the CIA or in the military has been prosecuted for any wrongdoing related to the brutal interrogations. And it doesnt appear thats about to change. Its up to the Justice Department to decide if legal charges should be brought. Beginning in 2009, John Durham, a special prosecutor appointed by Attorney General Eric Holder, looked into allegations of people being mistreated while in the custody of the U.S. government after the 9/11 attacks and ended up conducting two criminal investigations. But the Justice Department declined to prosecute in either case on the grounds that the admissible evidence wasnt sufficient to obtain and sustain convictions beyond a reasonable doubt, according to a department spokesman. That team of investigators has since reviewed the full Senate report, said the spokesman on Tuesday, but did not find any new information they hadnt previously considered in determining illegal activity. huffingtonpost/…/…/doj-torture_n_6298276.html
