Only a few thousand other bloggers have pointed out exactly this as the bottom line of President Barack Obama’s official refusal to prosecute the Bush Adminstration’s architects of torture.
Treaties ratified by our government spell out what torture is, and these people authored “legal” documents for CIA agents, along with abetting psychologists and others, to break the law.
As for those people, we rejected “just following order” at Nuremburg 1946.
Oh, I’m sorry, though, this is American exceptionalism, though.
Vote Green. Or Socialist.
Do NOT re-elect Barack Obama.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
