Never Happen, we all know how criminal and corrupt the US Government is - not to mention incestuous. No American expects justice from these psychopaths. Seriously. They could rape children on the steps of congress and they'd all look the other way. I'm not sure they haven't. Truly pathetic - why have the American people lost faith...really? Isn't it obvious.

During the Viet Nam war we were shocked to find out what Hanoi was doing to our POW's. Now, we've become them. But it's OK, because we're in the right? Who doesn't think his side's right? The Nazis treated American prisoners better than we treat ours these days. Torture also puts the troops in danger because an enemy combatant is much less likely to surrender, and would prefer to go down shooting. Israel has a hand in all of this.

No wonder Bush cancelled his trip to Switzerland coz the laws in existence over there would have allowed the swiss authorities to arrest anyone suspected of instigating torture. I wish they'll come after him now!

It is as simple as this. In the United States, only civilians and the poor are held accountable to the law without bias or exceptions. Just look at the decisions of the 9 corporate kings of the U.S. on the Supreme Court during the last 15 years and their can be no doubt the law is only enforced without bias or exception on civilians and the poor. U.S. law is a sad, mean, privatized joke.

Why can't she file charges with the International Court in the Hague?

Why is she onyl seeking to charge Bush in the US courts, when that is a loosing proposition from the start?

i'm sure there is still torture going on, if not so much in the US, then the places around the world they ship them to. obama doesn't give a shit; he's part of the same club

It's funny they still do torture, infact countless people are hostages being burned alive and having their fleshed cooked off their bone in some sadistic game a pseudofacist state deems necessary as it grows secretly in the darkness.

Not to get off topic, but that Andrea Prasow is kinda hot...

And in US politics, one hand washes the other. Clinton, Bush, Obama they have all tortured. The difference with Bush is that he was stupid enough to admit it. Do you think Obama is going to put Bush on trial for the same things he did?

Why do you think Gitmo is still open??

US won't be prosecuted because they are at the top. The winner always sets the rules and writes the history. DIsgusting.

These Bastards All Stick together through thick or thin. Nobody will ever get in Hot water over this water boarding case but the really BIG Issue is that these Low Life Cowards are responsible for an Inside Job on the WTC Towers and the death of Thousands perhaps Millions when it's all said and done with.

Is not the Obama Regime doing the same thing? I recall Obama saying something about "indefinite detention". All for a false sense of security and a emerging of a Police State.
