The Spanish’s Judge vs. Bush’s Architects of Torture

It was designed, “above all, to establish the absolute impunity for all officials, soldiers, doctors, and other staff” in Guantanamo.

I’ve looked at the complaint, in rough translation as well as in its original Spanish, and it lays out, in detail, how these six individuals tried to “justify the unjustifiable” and legalize war crimes.

For instance, it cites a visit by Addington and Haynes to Guantanamo on September 25, 2002, where Addington ordered a lieutenant colonel to “do what needs to be done” in direct reference to obtaining information from a prisoners there.

It says that a memo Haynes drew up, and Rumsfeld approved, a list of “18 forms of torture.”

It says that the six people named were all lawyers and, malevolently used their legal skills “actively and decisively in the development, approval, and launching” of a dubious legal framework.

1. That's what Yoo get for assuming that ALL law schools are faith-based.

Not to mention the unjustified hubris of being appointed to a position Yoo are clearly not qualified to fill.

There is no doubt these guys describe themselves as "attorneys" - "lawyer" has too much LAW in it.
