The executive branch is NOT getting away with it. Congress and the judiciary are holding them to account. That's a matter of the wheels of justice grinding exceedingly slow.
Same with Gitmo. The executive branch is being called on it again and again and having to change their methods.
I, on the other hand, believe that the system of checks and balances is working. There are errors, but most of them are correctable.
