Senator Udall: IF TORTURE REPORT IS KILLED, I'll 'Use Every Power I Have' TO REVEAL IT

10. The only people in the world who don't know what 'we did' as Udall refers to it, are the AMERICAN

PEOPLE! So releasing it can only HELP our reputation with the many countries whose citizens were tortured, some to death. It is our protection of these war crimes that has caused so much hatred for this country. We claim to abide by the rule of law, and then show the world we do not, by protecting WAR CRIMINALS.

If you think that the world, especially countries who suffered under those crimes, don't know what is in that report, you haven't been paying attention to all the victims, those who survived, who have been trying to get some justice in various countries, for what was done to them.

Some of those victims, eg, were British subjects and have described what was done to them so anyone who has followed the torture crimes back to when they were first revealed, which began in late 2003, knows a good deal of what is in those files.

It would enhance our reputation to a great extent to show the world we will not protect such grotesque and massive crimes against humanity.

I suspect the reason why there is an attempt to hide this from the people is we are going to see famous, or infamous names in the report. Some of Bush's torture henchmen. And we've waited a long time to see that.

I hope Udall does read it into the record if there is an attempt to suppress it. I hope he remains safe.
