Justice Dept. recommends tortur/detainee prosecutons

The Department of Justice's OPR report on detainee treatment reportedly recommends to AG Holder that he should prosecute "nearly a dozen" detainee abuse cases.

The focus of the argument will likely center around the CIA, but I don't think it should be lost
though, that "contractors" who were acting as interrogators are in the jackpot, too.

This recommendation seems to be all about the "above ground" operations (Iraq, Afghanistan, maybe Guantanamo.) It doesn't seem to reference the "black site" operations of secret prisons, waterboarding, etc.
