Why is Obama Protecting Dick Cheney

The Spanish government is starting proceedings to indict 6 American, former Bush administration officials. My question is, why isn't President Obama taking this action as required by law? President Obama has consistently said he wants to look forward, not backward. That is not a choice he has, according to law he is required to investigate and charge those responsible.

This video for Countdown with Keith Olbermann with law professor, Jonathan Turley, explains why the United States needs to change course and prosecute the Bush administration officials, including Bush and Cheney for these crimes.
