Dear Mr. Obama,

I am glad you were elected President.  I worked very hard for you.  However, it is not alright for you to let the people who authorized torture off the hook, because you want to look forward, not backward.  We already know that those who refuse to look backward, don't learn from the past.  George W. Bush was too busy partying in the 1960's to learn the lessons of the Vietnam War. Thus, we got the Iraq invasion There will be a future President who will decide it is OK to break our laws because Bush/Cheney did it with impunity.  Somebody needs to do something to address this situation quickly.  I'm afraid you will dishearten many of your supporters if you don't respond aggressively.
