The FACT. mr president, is YES, America under you certainly does commit

[LynnTheDem]

TORTURE.

The very same torture techniques America called TORTURE when the KGB did it.

But you, mr president, now say it ain't torture, even though you admit such behaviour is illegal under international law, under US law, and violates every Treaty we're signatories to, including the Geneva Conventions.

America is known across the entire world as a nation that DISAPPEARS people and TORTURES them.

We are the enemy. Thanks to you, mr president.

MFer.

"Failures of Imagination!" (Reporters who tried to get Torture Truth out)

The title of this article doesn't do it justice. It's a blockbuster Investigative report from Columbia Journalism School's Eric Urmansky on how reporters tried to cover the torture which led up to the massive abuse at AbuGhraib and were thwarted by editors who put stories in the back pages. It's a good read for those who are interested in what's at stake if Bush does away with Geneva Conventions Article 3.



from the article in the above thread

"And the abusive tactics, as another investigation concluded, mysteriously migrated from Afghanistan to Guantanamo, and then to Iraq. The results have become clear: roughly a dozen prisoners have died of abusive treatment. No soldier or officer has been sentenced to more than five months for any of the deaths. Four of the deaths, said to involve the CIA, have resulted in just one criminal case, involving not a CIA employee but an agency contractor."
