    When the Senate voted this week to bring America’s chain of military prison camps under the rule of law, President Bush threatened a veto. The White House explained his objections by saying the measure would bind the government’s hands. Yes, exactly. The rules would finally bind military prisons to democratic values and the standards of behavior recognized by every other civilized nation. They would bind the government to a code of conduct that will help protect those in the nation’s (…)

    Hypocrisy and a disregard for basic human rights and international laws continue to mark the American President’s so-called “war on terror".
    Bellow are details of one of the most horrific incidents that took place at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where American soldiers tortured and abused prisoners, whom they labeled enemy-combatants.

    A US soldier convicted of humiliating and abusing Iraqi prisoners has said she knew of "worse things" happening at Abu Ghraib.
    Former private first class Lynndie England also insisted on Sunday that military commanders were fully aware of what was going on in Iraq’s infamous jail. In her first post-court marshal interview, England contradicted assertions by top Pentagon officials that a small group of out-of-control soldiers was responsible for abuse at Abu Ghraib and said that (…)

    Away to prison for three years goes Lynndie England, her pleas for mercy ignored by the military judge in Fort Hood, Texas. So who are the penalized thus far to indicate America’s revulsion over the systematic use of torture by its own forces? It tots up to a handful of rednecks.
    Scot-free go those who inherited a secret system of torture that goes back decades and who ensured that its relentless and widening application would soon bring the (…)

    Quietly, firmly, relentlessly, the good captain laid out the list of atrocities committed at the order of the enemies of freedom: "Death threats, beatings, broken bones, murder, exposure to elements, extreme forced physical exertion, hostage-taking, stripping, sleep deprivation and degrading treatment."
