Torture Is A Crime And Bush and His Administration Are Criminals!!!

So, the big topic of discussion south of the border is whether or not Dick Cheney et al. should be prosecuted for war crimes due their love affair with torture tactics. This story makes my blood boil! I have to admit that I am not quite sure why this is being debated. There are no grey areas. Torture is ILLEGAL. It is illegal in the United States and more importantly, it is deemed illegal acording to International Law. Why George, Dick, Rummy, Condi and the other village idiot-- Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzalez, were unwilling to recognize this, is beyond my earthly comprehension (although I'm pretty sure Lucifer and his cast of demons in hell would be able to answer my question). We were all aware that the Bush Administration was one of the most incompetent in recent memory, but with the release of these torture memos we are now certain of its deviance.

The US has always touted itself as the moral authority of the world-- a title they do not deserve, let alone any other country for that matter. They have called out other countries for crimes against humanity (i.e. China) and called for the prosecution of despot leaders (i.e. Mugabe, Al-Bashir). Why shouldn't this same appetite for justice apply to the United States of America? The US executed Japanese soldiers after World War II for committing the very same acts of torture that US senior officials are now being accused of. Why are certain politicians refusing to admit that this is the same thing? Yes, 9/11 was a horrific tragedy and those responsible for the murder of 3,000 innocent people should be brought to justice. However, this was not license to abandon all laws for the sake of revenge. The excuse has also been given that government needed to use these tactics in order acquire 'high value information'. Would this information have included the whereabouts of one Mr. Bin Laden and/or the notorious Weapons of Mass Destruction? If not, the info that was received was about as valuable as a fake Gucci bag. Sorry, we're not buying.

If Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder is smart, he'll prosecute these gangsters. If he doesn't, the International Criminal Court in The Hague should be put on notice. The world is watching and it wants the US to be held to the same standard as everyone else.

Watch Liz Cheney (Dick's daughter--- poor thing) try and justify her father's torture tactics:
