Republican Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK): "I have to say I`m probably not the only one up at this table that is more outraged by the outrage than we are by the treatment. The idea that these prisoners, you know they`re not there for traffic violations. If they`re in cellblock 1A or 1B these prisoners, they`re murderers, they`re terrorists, they`re insurgents, many of them probably have American blood on their hands, and here we`re so concerned about the treatment of those individuals." ---------------------------------------------------------- A document released for the first time today by the American Civil Liberties Union suggests that President Bush issued an Executive Order authorizing the use of inhumane interrogation methods against detainees in Iraq [PDF download]. Also released by the ACLU today are a slew of other records including a December 2003 FBI e-mail that characterizes methods used by the Defense Department as "torture" and a June 2004 "Urgent Report" to the Director of the FBI that raises concerns that abuse of detainees is being covered up. [ACLU] "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." -- 8th Amendment to the US Constitution. President Bush has acted illegally in signing an order authorizing the use of torture. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/powabuse.html |
