Using word torturing semantics to pretend it never happened (pun intended).
Cheney et al openly admitted to war crimes, in writing no less, yet you pretend that because they only admitted to the crimes, and not to being "war criminals", somehow they did not admit it. Torturing words to pretend what happened somehow never did, appears to be your only superpower.
Because Obama pardoned their actions by refusing to prosecute them, it doesn't count and we should pretend it never happened.
What he did was worse as he has the power to pardon, but not the power to pick and choose who the law applies to.
You may be impressed with such valid "legal arguments" 
as "mistakes were made we must look forward" but looking past crimes because they happened in the past does not justify the sweeping immunity given them, or the fact that by not prosecuting them he held them above the law.
I know, I know, your argument here will be "he never used the words 'they are above the law' so there poopy head, they were never above it". I know of your semantic superpowers and am humbled by them
