But in the absence of answers to them at present, I submit to you that its appearance here, structurally speaking, is the direct result of there being no criminal or even substantial political penalties for the architects of the torture program, either at Langley or within the Bush administration.

Recent years have really put into question the whole idea of letting the outgoing administration off the hook for crimes out of some sense of decorum

Laws not being enforced is great for lawbreakers.
