Torture Revealed Yet Again

~

We should all insist upon is that Bush and Cheney committed serious crimes and have yet to be held accountable, and that we risk a slide into presidential dictatorship if we allow our nation to become reconciled to that, notes David Swanson.

As with the evidence that Bush, Cheney and gang intentionally lied us into a war, or the evidence of illegal and unconstitutional spying, each time a major new piece of evidence of torture emerges, it is impossible not to hope that this is the one that will compel the Justice Department or Congress or the courts or the American people to act decisively.

Certainly I hope that, right now, after Mark Danner reported on a report from the International Committee of the Red Cross.

But let's not kid ourselves. Everyone has known that the United States was torturing for years.
