Keep at it. I am posting these type of articles on my blog and there are a few apologists who want to continue to argue that waterboarding (and others) is not torture.

I think that Bybee and Yoo (and the other higher up the chain of command) should continue to be hounded about this issue until they are held accountable for their actions. They committed crimes against humanity (in my opinion).

Many thanks Andy for your tireless work.

There is nothing hysterical about the truth.
A six year war with 50 million dead ended in the
Nuremberg trials. Do you call those trials “hysteria” or a matter of secondary importance?
They established the sound legal doctrines under which Yoo is clearly guilty.
You (above poster) are an apologist for evil.

Please settle down — Hysteria wins no battles. Obama accurately judged that 34 million Americans need med.care before we all can afford to settle this important legal matter. Remember how Clinton’s political foes diverted attention for two years onto his personal goof-up? Steady Obama is right: The (obvious to me) sins and crimes of Att’y Yoo and accomplice can wait until we get 34 mill. Americans in under our tent and a lot more people re- employed. THEN is the ripe time to confront Yoo and the entire Cheney team of fierce defenders. But for the first couple Obama years, we need to stay cool like Br’er Fox in Uncle Remus’ tales: “But Br’er Fox, he don’t say nuthin’; he jus’ lay low.”

There is absolutely no doubt that U.S. officials authorized and caused to be effectuated torture on multiple occasions.
No doubt whatsoever.
Obama is complicit with Bush and Cheney in administering torture.
We have entered a complete and total orwellian regime.

You can’t have a war on terror — semantically this is ludicrous. War IS terror & the USA are promoting, executing, aiding and abetting more wars than any other nation on the planet. So who are the terrorists?

Do you honestly think a government lawyer would ever try and hold other government lawyers accountable for their actions?
Let these two stand trial at the Hague and then see what happens.
No government employee will ever be held accountable for their actions. But a junior enlisted soldier will and be sent to prison.
Where some still sit and rot for lesser acts.

Let’s face it. The effect of sustained illegal mistreatment of prisoners, made very public, has gone a long way towards redefining the Taliban — at least in their own minds — as freedom fighters.
