Incidentally, terms for the members of the Committee Against Torture at the UN, which monitors implementation of the Convention Against Torture, expire in 2015. The vice-chair (who I have no reason to have a problem with) is from the US.

Volkerball posted:Let's get real, no government anywhere is going to arrest itself because of the UN. The best we can hope for here is reform and transparency for the future, which isn't unlikely considering that the report really outlines how much of a failure the torture program was. Uh, exactly what do you consider holding people accountable to entail, then? You seem to pretty much agree with the sentiment you were disagreeing with.

Apologies if this has been mentioned here, but I didn't see it:ComradeCosmobot posted:Just in case you were worried that Obama hasn't been doing anything to bring those involved to justice, Obama HAS jailed someone connected to the CIA's torture program. (You'll never guess who! Anyone know if he named someone in relation to the torture program? It's implied but not stated. e: nevermind, a linked story says 'yes'.

Getting off topic here, but lol: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CongressEdits&diff=prev&oldid=620286685 Same IP. e: Maybe not so off topic. "Propoganda is banned by the Federal government thus no propaganda would have existed. This is a biased and unfactual use of this term in this article." Now where have I heard this logic before... eviltastic fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Dec 11, 2014 |
