Government Contracts for Saddism

No Bid to Halliburton and Croonies If anyone would have told me when I went to law school in the late 80s that government contractors would actually be in federal court arguing that they had immunity to torture people I would have thought someone slipped something funny in their drinks- are you kidding me? But this is actually happening now- because we know that the government did sanction and justify and allow Torture of prisoners of war or enemy combatants or detainees in foreign jails under Bush-Cheney and their creepy cabal and outsource it to American companies. Even John McCain, former POW knows its immoral. The Geneva Conventions say it is immoral and illegal under international law. Various other laws and treaties and human rights documents declare it immoral. But American companies want to be able to do it with impunity. It has been widely testified to that Torture does not result in reliable information because people will say anything to make it stop. It obviously is used as a recruiting tool for the enemies who use it to justify hatred of us and attacks against us because we ARE TORTURING PEOPLE. And it is just by all measures of common decency disgustingly evil. No, they should not have gotten away with it then and they should not get away with it now. It harms national security to perpetuate it. It creates enemies unnecessarily and it is saddistic. Stop it. Make the bad men Stop it.http://www.ccrjustice.org/ourcases/current.cases/bush-torture-indictment
