A high-level Army investigation has cleared four of the five top Army officers overseeing prison policies and operations in Iraq of responsibility for the abuse of detainees there, Congressional and administration officials said Friday.
I listened to the transcripts of the testimony in this trial and it was amazing. They just lined up one CIA officer after another who had been there to order and administer torture and all of them were able to claim secrecy due to "national security" concerns. This is undemocratic a possible. Yet againa a reminder that "national security" has nothing to do with what is best for the people, for whom which the government is here to PROTECT our rights. "National Security" is a meaningless term thrown around by neoconservative government elites while they advance their corporatist agenda. Rulers are here for our benefit, we are not simply here for theirs. The constitution makes that very clear.
