Senate Report: US Torture

The Justice Department announce that it will 

not prosecute any US officials implicated.

"The interrogations were "absolutely, totally justified." Dick Cheney

Republican Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war who was tortured in Vietnam, praised the report's release and said harsh interrogations did little to make Americans safer.

"Those of us who want to see a safer, more secure world want to see extremism defeated. We won't succeed if we lose our moral authority." British Prime Minister David Cameron

Check this cool place in the Netherlands, The International Criminal Court. It has the jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes and it may one day be able to exercise jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. here

Drug Test Florida GOP

Gov. Rick Scott’s callous and condescending plan to drug-test welfare recipients has been demolished by a federal appeals court. Although experts had warned that Florida’s broad drug-testing statute wouldn’t survive a court challenge, Scott and the Republican-led Legislature sanctimoniously charged ahead. Now the state’s clanking legal appeals are costing taxpayers a fortune. here

I’ve offered to pay the cost for each of them to pee in a cup and send it to a lab, yet there’s no enthusiasm in Tallahassee for that proposal.
