U.S. Practiced Torture After 9/11
Quoted Text
WASHINGTON —
A nonpartisan, independent review of interrogation and detention programs in the years
after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks concludes that “it is indisputable that the
United States engaged in the practice of torture” and that the
nation’s highest officials bore ultimate responsibility for it.
The sweeping, 577-page report says that while brutality has occurred in every American war,
there never before had been “the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred
after 9/11 directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and
legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody.”

...now they just execute. Much less barbaric.
When is Holder going to charge the politicians and generals with war crimes? Still wait for that box? |

You'll wait for a Republican to get into office. Then it will be your battle cry until a Democrat gets into office. Then you and the rest of the left will go silent. |

I think our leaders need much much better background checks..... |

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

It still takes place today under Obama so he is just as guilty. |

What about the people in charge of prosecuting the crime? Isn't the Obama administration a guilty accomplice for not prosecuting? |

Are the people that personally did the torturing held accountable or were they just following orders? |

You cannot be forced to follow orders that are illegal or violate the oath you have taken. As a matter of fact, as has been pointed out repeatedly, it is your obligation to not only not folow those orders, but it is your obligation to report such illegal orders up the chain of command, or you are equally held accountable for violation of the oath and accoutable for equal punishment. (PS - Just so you know, this is not conjecture on my part...I was part of JAG Corps when stateside.) |
