Where were all these people when the tortures were going on and why didn't they speak up to stop it?

[Paramedic851]

Ya we should never investigate

It was fair to punish soldeirs of vietnam who partook in human rights violations so long as we don't prosecute the political leaders who put them in that situation

Torture is going on all around you. When people see government illegal drug/vehicle theft network, they attack you on a personal individual level and gas you in your bed to make it look like a natural death. If they can't kill you, they put you in mental hospital and drug you. See DEW weapons, Torture In US Britain Canada.

Some mistakes you just can't say "oops sorry"

Americans who witnessed torture and do nothing about it worse than the terrorists themselves maybe they didn't have the courage and go through what Privet Manning has to, government Terrorism in his Home land surety.

@siyengar9821 One soldier refused to torture and then "killed herself" - if you believe that - a dissenter in the military witness to war crimes is a threat when she fails to become complicit in those crimes - see Alyssa Peterson.

I've been trying to put the governmental torture behind me........ I just can't get the Bush/ Clinton Fascist Regime behind me!!!!!! Pure torture..

[cmfluteguy]

We need to get John Yoo, Cheney and all the torturers on trial for their deeds. The incompetence and immorality of the Bush/Cheney administration are simply staggering!!!!!!

I wish there was a way to rate the speakers of a video rather than just the vid itself. This vid is very informative. The person doing most of the speaking is... well, let's just say he's rather intellectually disingenuous. I'm glad McCain didnt become president. What he's proposing is exactly what our high-ranking officials have been getting away with for decades!

Here's the twist tho: WW1, WW2, Cold War, etc. When you fire the people behind the scenes, they dont just disappear. They migrate into other areas of our lives and continue to promote the miasma that is slowly choking our world civilization to death.

George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Robert Gates, Alberto Gonzales, Michael Chertoff, Mike McConnell, Gen. Peter Pace, Jay Bybee, John Yoo, Colin Powell, Nancy Pelosi & all of Congress, parasites like Carl Rove, etc., etc. knew or should have known what respondent superior means, and how it applies to acts committed at Gitmo or Abu Ghraib.

McCain wants us to think this is about settling old political scores? This is about accountability for those who knew or should have known they were violating our laws and international treaties. Perhaps, McCain is worried about his own skin? What didn't he bother to read before he signed it into law?
