If the US doesn't prosecute torturers [View All]

[The Blue Flower]

As I understand it, the international treaty that requires prosecution of torture that we signed (under Reagan?)says that, if a country does not prosecute torturers within its borders, other governments can be counted on to do so. I think our President is laying a trail with the memos, helping others make the case, while protecting his agenda at the same time. I think he's trying to move both justice and the agenda forward, without politics coming into play to block both.
