Conyers: “Appoint A Special Prosecutor”! Now Our Focus MUST Shift To Attorney General Holder!



Conyers: “Appoint A Special Prosecutor”! Now Our Focus MUST Shift To Attorney General Holder!

 

 

 

Following the dismal failure of the Leahy Truth Commission simply because Republicans insisted on covering their ears and eyes to the truth we now - finally - have a congressional call for the Special Prosecutor.

 

We know now that the claim "extreme interrogation" of subjects such as Abu Zubaidah - produced ZERO usable or accurate intelligence.

 

We know now that several high ranking Generals lied to Congress about their knowledge of torture taking place at Gitmo.

 

On the question of whether the was or wasn't actual torture taking place, that has been settled by the International Red Cross.

 

BTW the organization which makes the determination under Geneva as to whether torture has occures - happens to be the International Red Cross.

 

We have always known - or should have - that the UN Convention Against Torture (signed by Ronald Reagan) leaves NO EXCUSES for the use of use of torture.  None.
