Yes! the abnormal 'norm' in the Washington establishment of demented dinosaurs is to protect EACH OTHERS backs,when things go wrong because of delibarate BAD DEEDS/decisions instead of protecting the NATIONS back,which consists of WE THE PEOPLE,our US Constitution,Bill of Rights and Rule of Law.
They have turned our tight two party Congress into a one-party Monarchy of the rich over the millions of serfs(indentured servitude).
Nothing that is happening is NEW.They are mimicking everything the old Colonists did,by occupying,invading,colonising,stealing the resources and abusing the indigenous peoples.
The SAME things that the American War of Independence was fought FOR,to escape FROM.
And it's not "Unfeeling",it's just FACT.
Our Government is condoning and using torture that equals that of the Spanish Inquisition,French Algeria,Israel,Morocco,Syria,Pakistan,Africa,and the old Shahs "Persia" etc etc have used for years.
It doesn't matter what you call it.
Torture is torture IS TORTURE and totally UNJUSTIFIED and HORRENDOUSLY illegal,immoral,unethical.
Those that manipulated the Law/Constitution(Legal Council)to enable it and issued the orders(White House) for this torture of the last eight years MUST be held accountable,by international Rule of Law,indicted,prosecuted and PUNISHED.
If our Congress do not do this,then they may as well SPIT IN OUR FACES and shred the US FLAG.
When it comes to Government decisions,the Bush/Cheney admin.decisions were NOT INNOCENT WRONGS,that we should 'forgive' and"reflect" upon.
They were manufactured deceptions,knowingly performed,ordered and therefore were turned from innocent "wrongs" into delibarate WAR CRIMES and therefore must be punished.
That's what WE THE PEOPLE pay our executive,legislative and judicial branches TO DO as public servants!
Serve the people and PRESERVE,PROTECT AND DEFEND THE Constitution and Bill of Rights as well as UPHOLDING the Law(domestically or internationally).
When they have done what they are paid BY US to do,then we can all gather round Obamas "reflect"-ing pool and sing Kumbayah!
BUT,Obama! Not BEFORE the Rule of Law Justice is served upon the WAR CRIMINALS.

America and Americans must be able,in the near future,to look the world directly in the eyes and say,"A bad Government DID these things,but now,WE DO NOT",
without sounding like liars and hypocrits.
Not even 9/11 justified what we have done to Iraq,Afghanistan and possibly Pakistan since then.

Isn't that the 'norm' of each new admin is that the 'forgive' the wrongs of the previous administration? Just think of all the previous wars that the US has started and what they have 'gotten away with' in those wars. This sounds unfeeling, but what is happening now is nothing new, they have just put a different name to their deeds of 'torture'

So... if the Obama administration does NOT hold members from the previous administration accountable for torture, will the "I was only following orders" excuse be seen as a valid excuse for war crimes?

By giving a "free torture pass", they will all but guarantee future abuses and war crimes by the US, as well as any other nation that thinks they can get away with it.

BINYAM MOH'D TORTURED ON FALSE MI5 EVIDENCE:

Just MORE proof that INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE TORTURED BY,or at the REQUEST of,THE US Govt.
We know it went on,just start the INDICTMENTS!
The quicker they issue arrest warrants for those scumbags Bush,Cheney,Rummie,Tenet,Gonzales and ALL the White House attorneys,AS WAR CRIMINALS,the better!
Then we'll get started on the Israeli WAR CRIMINALS in the Knesset(and Mossad),who like to LEGALISE TORTURE,and taught many of our troops HOW TO TORTURE,innocent people.
Start at the TOP!
The b******s!

A lot of good people helped to fight Hitler and his THUGS,midnight,and suffered and died for it.
Israel should remember that MORE rather than EMULATE Hitler for the last sixty years.

His brother is berried in Anzio Italy ,he helped against Hitler and I am totally great full for that

thank you Norway ,I just wish You stop killing animals as well,like wales and baby seals
by the way,let s remember that Israel is made out of people like you and me and we need to make sure that we don t create invert racism,they are still dealing with there mother pain and grand mother loss,let s not forget it
I am helping a 90 year old couple to move from one residence to the next and he lost his brother in Italy,during the war,he quit smoking in 1940,could not stop laughing at that one and have very good ideas about war and the pain the poor Jews had to go true and is not on books is for real,so please let s read some more psychology books
and find a solution that will give all the best to both PLEASE.......

Norwegian Lawyers to accuse Israeli leaders of WAR CRIMES.

Plenty of evidence over SIXTY YEARS,and witness statement.
Indict,PROSECUTE,PUNISH,because no man OR NATION is above International or Universal Law.
If Israel was your CRAZY MURDERING uncle you would have had him committed to DEATH ROW,IN A STRAIT JACKET YEARS AGO,not invited him round for TEA and cookies with your kids.
If the Nazis were found guilty,then Israel is guilty for SURE of the same crimes.

Har De Bra Norge!

there is different type of torture and this one is the most horrible
we get mad at people for torturing prisoners but I hear only few voices screaming still and I would invest more in prevention with other legislation s
is a slow long coming needed changehttp://communications.uwo.ca/com/western_news/stories/program_addresses_domestic_violence_in_muslim_community_20090417444145/

common sense becomes often a commodity

starts at home,there are different ty
pe of torture and they should all be ban
can somebody tell me why with all the drugs available we still have physical torture in place?
those siero della verita drugs would make it very easy to know things from prisoners and in that way the would be less friction for everybody
forgot...could be because of money?
why can t the pharmaceutical companies show their patriotism with a decent discount for some drugs

There are many types of humiliation and torture.
SHAME ON ISRAEL for subjecting innocent,men,women and children to these things,and ALL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT Jewish!
No wonder parasitic Israel has no sincere friends left in the world.
Only it's FISCAL BENEFACTOR.The 'mighty' USA.

20 TYPES OF WAR CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN:
No good conscience human being should allow this,and
And certainly,no man/woman in a SOVEREIGN NATION ARMED FORCES UNIFORM should condone,assist or ignore when these abuses are knowingly going on.
If they do,they can ONLY expect PROSECUTION,and dishonorable discharge.
