4. There is such an abundance of evidence that the bushes
tortured POWs they held in captivity, that there is no excuse for allowing bush, cheney et.al. their continued freedom from justice. Not only did the bushes use the tried and true method the Japanese used in WWII but they raped, starved and used other horrific techniques. And not only did agents representing the US torture POWs held in captivity by the US, but they were clearly authorized to torture by the president himself. He brags about it in his book.

Obama and the US Attorney General are now complicit in the bushes war crimes. Are we officially a banana republic yet?

Justice may take a long time, but it comes with heavy feet.

A horrific act by another name is still torture.

"The Tokyo Trials, officially known as the International Military Tribunal for the Far East. After World War II, an international coalition convened to prosecute Japanese soldiers charged with torture. At the top of the list of techniques was water-based interrogation, known variously then as 'water cure,' 'water torture' and 'waterboarding,' according to the charging documents. It simulates drowning." Politifact went on to report, "A number of the Japanese soldiers convicted by American judges were hanged, while others received lengthy prison sentences or time in labor camps.""
