工作的酷刑賣伊拉克戰爭
星期六， 2009年4月25日
三歡呼為Dick Cheney。 前副總統，修辭上，敦促Obama管理發行更酷刑備忘錄。 「我發現稍微干擾關於這最近透露的其中一件事是他們投入了法律備忘錄， CIA從法律顧問辦公室得到的備忘錄，但他們沒有投入顯示努力的成功的備忘錄」，前副總統告訴FoxNews。 」我正式現在要求CIA採取步驟撤銷機密那些備忘錄，因此我們可能放置他們那裡，并且美國人民有一個機會看什麼我們獲得了，并且什麼我們學會了，并且多麼好智力是」。 新聞報告不同至於是否先生。 Cheney正式做了請求，但他绝對正確美國人民需要看完全紀錄。 他錯誤關於什麼紀錄將顯示。 從新聞工作者已經發布或查出的材料，它是確切他和先生。 布什在使用酷刑，不主要獲取需要的智力，但創造他們曾經賣他們的伊拉克的入侵的宣傳成功。 證據來自各種各樣的來源，包括報告關於被拘留者的軍事的治療，參議員。 卡爾Levin的三軍部隊委員會發布了。 報告顯露五角大樓官員開始準備早在2001年12月使用酷刑-或「虐待審訊技術」 -。 這少於二個月是在開始以後 戰爭 在阿富汗和八個月，在司法部在約會的二個備忘錄給了法律授權2002年8月1日之前，和由傑伊・ Bybee，然後助理檢察長簽了字為法律顧問辦公室。 第一個備忘錄重新了解釋物理和精神酷刑并且建議總統，作為尋求他的憲法力量總司令，可能忽略聯邦反拷打法規。 第二種被分析的和被批准的具體審訊戰術，包括隔離，長時期的睡眠剝奪，重音位置和waterboarding，做受害者認為他淹沒。 如果不司法部律師，誰給了更早的批准？ 參議院報告直接地在decider在院長，喬治・ W.總統投入責任。 布什。 He issued a written determination on February 7, 2002, “that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which would have afforded minimum standards for humane treatment, did not apply to al-Qaeda or Taliban detainees.” Former White House terrorist adviser Richard Clarke has confirmed that Mr. Bush gave an informal go-ahead even earlier. According to Clarke’s account in his book, “Against All Enemies,” Bush addressed his national security advisers late on September 11, 2001. “We are at war and we will stay at war until this is done,” Bush told them. “Any barriers in your way, they’re gone.” Later he added in a heated exchange with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, “I don’t care what the international lawyers say, we are going to kick some ass.” The Senate report also pointed the finger at Mr. Cheney and other top officials of the Bush administration. “Members of the President’s Cabinet and other senior officials participated in meetings inside the White House in 2002 and 2003 where specific interrogation techniques were discussed,” the committee concluded. “National Security Council principals reviewed the CIA’s interrogation program during that period.” Why so much attention from the top? McClatchy news has provided the obvious answer. According to a former senior US intelligence official and a former Army psychiatrist, the Bush administration wanted “to find evidence of cooperation between al-Qaeda and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s regime.” ”There were two reasons why these interrogations were so persistent, and why extreme methods were used,” said the former official. “The main one is that everyone was worried about some kind of follow-up attack (after 9/11). But for most of 2002 and into 2003, Cheney and Rumsfeld, especially, were also demanding proof of the links between al-Qaeda and Iraq that (former Iraqi exile leader Ahmed) Chalabi and others had told them were there.” In part to get that smoking gun, the CIA waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed 183 times and Abu Zubaydah 83 times. But neither man told the interrogators what Bush and Cheney wanted to hear about Iraq and al-Qaeda. That came from Ibn al Sheikh al Libi, whom the Bush administration sent to Egypt for what CIA Director George Tenet called “further debriefing.” As PBS Frontline reported back in November 2007, al Libi “confessed” - after being beaten repeatedly and locked in a small box for some 17 hours - that Saddam Hussein had trained al-Qaeda in chemical weapons. Al Libi later retracted his statement and the CIA later rejected it as reliable intelligence. But the torture of al Libi worked to sell the war in Iraq, providing the “evidence” that Secretary of State Colin Powell used when he spoke before the United Nations Security Council in February 2003. ”I can trace the story of a senior terrorist operative telling how Iraq provided training in these [chemical and biological] weapons to al-Qaeda,” Powell asserted. “Fortunately, this operative is now detained, and he has told his story.” Torture might not work as well as conventional interrogation to provide sound intelligence, but it certainly worked for Bush and Cheney in exactly the way they most wanted.

I hope people do something. Even John McCain who helped write a torture law has decided that torture should not be looked into and no one (yes, NO ONE) should be held accountable. That is a coward.
