WTF///Obama reverses himself on torture
What is with this whole business of not publicly and transparently reporting on those who have committed torture? The world (and the US) needs to know that we are accountable as a nation and, therefore, trustworthy. This means public committees exploring the issue, and public trials of those found suspicious of committing the crime. If anyone was given an order to do so, their superior should be placed on trial - NOT them. Soldiers follow orders or they get court martialed. Their commanding officer is the one who should be charged for any criminal conduct sanctioned or ordered by them. If any of these behaviors were legal at the time, nobody involved in these should be questioned at all, though I do hope we become more transparent and accountable about the current rules of engagement.
"The publication of these photos would not add any additional benefit to our understanding of what was carried out in the past by a small number of individuals," Obama said. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/12/prisoner.photos/#cnnSTCVideo
I think we all know that individuals were NOT responsible for torture policies. His stance and statement smells of obsfucation to me.
Write everyone you know and all your government representatives. Blog about this. The current White House is beginning to look no less fascist to me than the prior one right now. They are just better at selling it. Tell Obama's administration that we expect them to hold up their end of the deal - Change toward a more accountable and transparent government FOR the people.
