A war crime .... without a doubt

[Botany]

The report found that Maj. Paul Burney, a United States Army psychiatrist assigned to interrogations in Guantánamo Bay that summer of 2002,
told Army investigators of another White House imperative: “A large part of the time we were focused on trying to establish a link between Al Qaeda
and Iraq and we were not being successful.” As higher-ups got more “frustrated” at the inability to prove this connection, the major said, “there
was more and more pressure to resort to measures” that might produce that intelligence.

1. Yep.

Using torture to help create a lie to engage in a war of agression makes it the worst kind of war crime.

3. 1,000,000 + dead Iraqis ..... 3,400 dead G.I.s ...... 3 trillion in costs ....

..... 60,000 wounded, injured, taken ill, or mental problems in U.S. forces 40,000 so bad that
they had to be airlifted out of Iraq ..... 10,000 + traumatic brain injuries U.S. Forces ...... 4 - 6
million homeless Iraqis ..... 5 million orphaned Iraqi children ...... $600,000/minute in borrowed
money from China to run the war ....... bin Laden still unaccounted for ..... and Dick Cheney
made millions if not billions.

trying.

2. The worst part of the crime is that all that crap about

national security was another big lie. They were torturing to cover their lying criminal asses.
