Remember When the Lawmakers Viewed the Prison Torture Images?
It was back in May.

Remember these quotes?

"What we saw is appalling," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.). "I saw cruel, sadistic torture," said Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.). Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) told Reuters: "There were some awful scenes. It felt like you were descending into one of the rings of hell, and sadly it was our own creation."

Rings of hell. That's pretty dam serious, no?

So, um, who eventually was held accountable for that?

8. Prison Torture.
Unfortunately, most Americans don't want to hear any more about this.
In their view the matter has been taken care of. It was only a "few bad apples" and isolated incidents. Of course, that is false. The Prison Torture was and perhaps still is wide spread and a Govt. sanctioned policy. Aprox. 28 secret prisons have been located by the Intl. Red Cross but they are not allowed access.

Proof that no one in Govt., Judicial or Congress has the will to deal with this?

Rumsfailed Admitted to Violating Geneva Convention

Rumsfailed admitted in public on TV that when CIA Director Tenet requested that an Iraqi prisoner be sent to a secret Afghan/US Prison that Rumsfailed did so. After four months a DOD Attorney stated that this was an illegal act. Rumsfailed then ordered that this prisoner be sent back to Abu Graihib but the prisoner was purposefully not listed at that location, also an illegal act.

Rumfailed has commited at least two violations of the Geneva Convention; thereby also violations of The Constitution of the USA. Recently it has been found out that even more detainees were "ghost detainees". The fact that Rumsfailed and Tenet have not been charged speaks volumes. If Congress wishes to garner any respect they should move forward with Rep. Rangle's Impeachment Declaration of Rumsfailed and also proscecute Ex. CIA Tenet.

Does the US, Govt., Congress, and the Justice Dept no longer abide by the Geneva Convention or the Constitution of the USA?

It is obvious that this is the case!.

6. A female private by the name of Lynndie England, the greatest
criminal mastermind in the history of the world, if the bush* admin is to be believed.

No need to answer that last part.
