Torturing Detainees for False Confessions to Create a Pretext for War

So... did the war criminals who engineered the Iraq War, ginned up false intelligence to justify their war, and authorized torture, use their torture program to try to establish a false link between Iraq and al Qaeda?

Looks like it.

Somebody want to take a stab at why this isn't a big deal and why there is no need for investigations and prosecutions?

Don't forget these are the same cowards who prosecuted the guards at Abu Ghraib and feigned a morally righteous tone about that whole scandal.

Update:

Also.
