In reply to the discussion: Obama is BOUND BY LAW to prosecute torture. [View all]eomer
(3,845 posts)I've quoted a paper by a Duke law professor that says the opposite of what you say. I can bring more articles that are similar. What is your basis for what you're saying - did you just figure this out on your own? Or can you provide some basis like I did?
And, yes, I've been reading your posts and saw that you're in favor of prosecution. But just pushing a position arguing that the laws are more permissible than they really are puts you in the same camp as people like John Yoo and Dick Cheney. It has the effect of enabling torture and impunity. I suggest to you that you realize you are wrong and get yourself onto the right side of this question - which is insisting that torture is illegal and that prosecution of torturers is required by US law, both of which are facts.
