Today, President Obama opened the door to prosecuting Bush administration officials responsible for devising illegal torture polices.

While reiterating his belief that CIA officers who carried out so-called "enhanced interrogations" should not be prosecuted, the President said he wanted the Attorney General to make a determination on how to procede with "those who formulated those legal decisions."

Obama said that any potential investigation must be bipartisan and independent.
