ACLU Torture Report

The Torture Report, an initiative of the ACLU's National Security Project, aims to give a full account of the Bush administration's torture program, from its improvised origins to the systematized, lawyer-rationalized maltreatment of hundreds of prisoners in U.S. custody around the world. In this video, Glenn Greenwald, one of the Report's expert contributors, and principal author Larry Siems reflect on the Report and the ongoing struggle for accountability.

One of the saving graces for the United States on the world stage is the freedom for the excellent ACLU and bloggers such as Glenn Greenwald and Jeffrey Kaye to critically examine these disgusting practices

@zachary3974: Why stop there? Perhaps the last decade's World Series and Superbowl champions won their titles "because the U.S. government has used all of its capabilities to upset the terrorist's objectives." There's as much credible evidence for that hypothesis as there is for yours (i.e., NONE).

Thank you to the ACLU for putting together the report. A crime against humanity is a crime against humanity, regardless of intent.

There is no excuse to torture another human being.

@John7714 Such an important, truthful message with an offensive email address. Thanks for sharing your message though.

Americans at one time were sure that there was torture going on in Vietnam by Chinese Gov. and if you lived under there gov. and could write about it, I'm rather sure those who did it (gov. leader-terrorists) would defend it. So I expect some defense as the people who are guilty today are defending the same terrorizing tactics with $ 4 the propaganda ($500 mil Guantanamo leisure staff). I want to file suit for using my taxes & name 4 torture. Even Iran charged, allowed family visits, didn't

@WEWILLRECOVERAMERICA You wouldn't know what a commie was if Joe McCarthy's corpse came up an bit you on the nose. Now why don't you go to your little Faux closet and ask Hannity why he used the ACLU.

ACLU was founded by commies and still run by them. by another name.
