On 1/20/10, Amy Goodman asked Scott Horton, "Talk about the role of the Justice Department in the cover-up and where the Obama administration is on this. What’s happened over the past year?" Horton replied, "Well, maybe that’s the most distressing single element other than the deaths themselves. The Justice Department is intimately involved in covering up these crimes from the first days after they occur. FBI is deployed to intimidate people not to speak about what’s going on. Justice Department is then filing papers with federal judges in which it makes apparently false statements about everything that went on here. And then when the Obama administration is notified about this, they engage in a further cover-up, claiming to conduct an investigation, but we know from the course of it that they concluded that they would not open a criminal investigation before they even contacted the critical witnesses here. Cover-up after cover-up. And Barack Obama is not upholding the pledge he made when he received the Nobel Prize to enforce the Geneva Conventions."
