Isn't This Ex-Post Facto?

Holder is going to review actions of CIA and others. Isn't this review and any subsequent prosecution similar to making law and prosecuting people for it after the fact? Whether you agree with the methods or not, the were not illegal at the time. Prosecuting after the fact is bad policy at any rate. It smacks of the Soviet consolidation of power when a new regime took power.
