Now it turns out that Bush regime officials conducted medical experiments on terrorism suspects. This violates laws enacted after the Holocaust that were designed to bar such experiments.
It's a shame that nobody will probably be punished for these atrocities, after Congress dropped the ball by refusing even to investigate anyone in the regime.
What's really ironic is that the purpose of the experiments seems to have been to see whether they fit the definition of torture. In other words, it was an attempt to cover Bush's ass - even while it caused harm to detainees.

ReplyDeleteNobody reads this blog but me. Don't flatter yourself.
Not true. I read this blog and I know of at least two other people who sometimes read it. That doesn't even count the birth control lady, who may or may not still read the Online Lunchpail. This blog used to be more popular when Tim allowed anonymous commenting.
ReplyDeleteI read it all the time, usually don't comment though.
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while I get calls from some friends from across the country asking me something about what Tim wrote on his blog, so I suppose there are a few that are interested other than myself.
But seriously, torture shouldn't be taken this lightly. These are crimes against humanity.... which once led to the death of Saddam Hussein (by the US) and that other guy, Slobodan Milosevic, who died before he could be judged. I guess they aren't "War crimes" if the USA commits them?
