Chaotic 9/11 Hearing Begins, Defendants Protest Military Tribunal, Torture

...

Five men accused of plotting the 9/11 attacks were formally charged on Saturday with crimes including murder and terrorism in a 13 hour long contentious hearing.

David Nevin, lawyer of the accused mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, told the court that "the world is watching" the trial after the US government admitted to waterboarding the accused terrorist 183 times.

The defense challenged the legitimacy of the court, or military tribunal, calling the process a "blight on America's international reputation and her commitment to the rule of law".

US Senators Discussing Secret Torture Provisions For Home Grown Terrorists - "We don't want them to know..." How We Will Troture Them (VIDEO)

~

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE???? This is video of a debate about the amendment that was proposed that would have exempted Americans to being subjected to indefinite detention or the secret torture provisions that this debate is about.

This debate was an effort to ENSURE that Americans WOULD be included in this Act. It's also an argument to keep certain provisions of S-1876 CLASSIFIED, including and especially the SECRET TORTURE PROVISIONS.

You will hear these Senators debating to ensure that Americans would be subject to this Act and these provisions. This video and the words of these traitors should make it clear that this IS targeted toward Americans who believe in the Constitution, it's restraints on government and who resist government corruption. As you will hear Lieberman say "Our biggest concern is "radical Americans." We MUST fight this, it's ILLEGITIMATE, usurped "authority" and therefore should NOT be recognized.

Sexual abuse by Irish Catholic Church priests amounts to torture, claims rights group Amnesty International

~

The abuse of Irish children by members of the Catholic clergy, revealed by four state-sponsored reports, included acts that amounted to torture, Amnesty International said Monday.


No clear lines of responsibility make true accountability impossible.

The law must protect and apply to all members of society equally.

Recognition of children's human rights must be strengthened.


Public attitudes matter. Individual attitudes matter.

The State must operate on behalf of the people, not on behalf of interest groups.
