Feinstein report: UN expert calls for prosecution of CIA officers and other US Government officials. Why? Simplest reason of all. He went to a lawyer and asked him what was legal. Doesn't matter if the lawyer is right or wrong. As long as you don't intend to break the law you are not guilty, mens rea. |

Torture not legal. Even in USA perhaps. Seems other countries could help if those bastards travel outside of US... Welcome here, then... |

There is such a thing as international law though. But there is no one who can enforce international law. At least, not unless countries enforce it themselves. Which the US does not do. |

Hang George Bush, or forever be silent out side of your borders. You know that Hermann Goering said he was a patriot as well ...... If we can justify the prosecution of the leaders of the Nazi state, but not leaders any other state like it, then the graves of all the victims of history shall still cry out for justice! It is easy to see how this could happen. These people have been practising on their own populations since the revolution that formed their union. It is difficult to square the wonderful qualities of all the many friends and relatives we have in the republic, with this terrible need they display to protect their war criminals. America, stand up for yourselves, don't be like some other lands that must hide their past from their next generations. Please live up to the high ideals you so loudly boast about to the world. Don't let criminal leaders stain you for all time in the company of civilized men. |

No, they behave like a rogue state. When it comes to international law there is only one overruling principle: "Might Makes Right". Such is the way of the international order. And sure, the US pulls off stuff like this, but you can be damn sure that there isn't a single country on this planet that wouldn't do the exact same things if they had the military and economic dominance the US has. For what its worth, the US could behave a lot worse. They could act like Russia or China. |

Even if every one else was a murderer, I would still have no right to murder! |

I wasn't going to make a comment here but then I decided that a certain point needed to be made. Are all of you absolutely certain that the leaders of your country have never done such things in the name of national security? Or have you considered that in most countries no investigation would have ever been commissioned, let alone a report written. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

Who knows, but if they did then they would be subject to prosecution here. If one gets away, it does not mean a pass for all. It has to stop some place, some time! |

Especally if those in some place at some time cry so load on whole world about their "principles" and enforce their "ideals" to whole other world with brutal force. Pay should be done, reputational risk would be high in this case (of course if some reputation would left before this revelations ;) ). |

Our federal Attorney-General George Brandis, and former Howard Government minister at the time of this era, was heckled at a Human Rights Awards ceremony last night by our own Guantanamo Bay detainee David Hicks for having full knowledge of the CIA were doing at that time. Brandis quietly left the stage without comment. http://www.news.com.au/national/david-hicks-heckles-george-brandis/story-fncynjr2-1227152039071 Cheers. |

InsaneHustlin'Hussein believes it is Better To Kill than Interrogate. Using Drone Killing, with Innocent Civilian Deaths Included, there is No Outrage. Because there has been No Terrible, Inhumane, Interrogation. Killing Avoids The Interrogation and Avoids The World's Outcry and Outrage. Brilliant, eh? Dat's Why We Love His As PeacePrizin' Prez. Yep May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!! |

Dick Cheney has come out of his hole to slam the US Senate's report into the CIA's use of the interrogation techniques that it employed and was unapologetic about the Bush administration’s response to terrorists. http://www.news.com.au/world/north-america/former-us-vice-president-dick-cheney-slams-us-senate-report-into-cia-interrogation-techniques/story-fnh81jut-1227152323786 |
