<<officials in the Bush administration instituted torture as a policy>>

Isn't it obvious to everybody that Bush and Cheney themselves either explicitly or implicitly approved of the torture, and, therefore, they are the only ones to be prosecuted, since the buck stopped with them and since Obama has established that those that followed orders are not to be prosecuted?

Why then does Krugman and others talk about "officials" to be prosecuted, rather than the two at whose desk the buck stopped?
