Headlines : Human Rights
Summary:

Global torture scum, trying to roll back the gains we Americans did make in trying to crawl out from under the rock of history. Those who have squeezed back under the rock should get theirs as we all jump on the rock and put it forever behind us. Do not let Neo-Cons and Chinese creeps drag the world back to proud brutality. Prosecute these criminals by any means necessary. No loopholes.

These atrocities were committed in the interrogation centers in American military prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. And they were not revealed by Red Cross officials, human rights activists, Democrats in Congress or others the administration writes off as soft-on-terror.

They were described in a painful report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, based on the accounts of hundreds of F.B.I. agents who saw American interrogators repeatedly mistreat prisoners in ways that the agents considered violations of American law and the Geneva Conventions. According to the report, some of the agents began keeping a “war crimes file” — until they were ordered to stop.
