WASHINGTON, D.C. (BNO NEWS) — White House spokesman Robert Gibbs released the following statement on Monday after the U.S. Department of Justice announced an inquiry into some CIA interrogations of terror suspects.

“The President has said repeatedly that he wants to look forward, not back, and the President agrees with the Attorney General that those who acted in good faith and within the scope of legal guidance should not be prosecuted. Ultimately, determinations about whether someone broke the law are made independently by the Attorney General,” Gibbs said.
