War on Torture


The Justice Department has released a 370-page report on the
government’s use of torture. It gives credence to many reports made by sources
outside the Main Stream Media. The FBI has expressed outrage at the torture
techniques employed particularly because they have proven ineffective.

Why have the Agencies waited a decade to report this? For
the first time there is a possibility many of their employees will face
prosecution for crimes against humanity and murder.

Previously, they had operated without fear of punishment.
President Bush has issued many directives to define torture to his lights and
to absolve potential perpetrators from guilt. After the Supreme Court failed to
back up the various bans that make torture illegal, it ceased to protect
ordinary citizens from this abuse.

Many media workers also knew the massive and widespread
nature of the crimes, but chose to sanitize them or to cover them completely.
The media supports the claim that torture is effective. They maintain those who
resist torture as a national policy are anti-American maybe even traitors.

This spin on torture has infected many US voters. The
Republican nominee is an advocate of torture.
