    Here is a little bit about the ACLU’s legal fight with the Administration to get the torture photos released. The article talks about how there were instances of posing with corpses and forced sodomization of detainees:

    Seen on All Hat no Cattle.

    I guess you have to be a Bush to see a report detailing your brother’s war crimes as a great chance to launch your presidential campaign.

    Two centuries of leading by example down the drain courtesy of one evil Cheney and his puppet president.

    I guess having to hear this trash-talking from abroad is one of the lesser penalties of having this official program of torture.
    The writer is in Sri Lanka, a place where war crimes aplenty have been committed over the last couple of decades in the fight against the Tamil Tigers. One wonders how the prosecution of war criminals goes over there.

    Yeah well, we deserve it. After years of passing judgement on the world, we’ve been taken down a few notches. We’re no longer the beacon of morality and guidance we once were, and we have America’s sh!t stain, Dick Cheney, to thank for it.

    PESHAWAR, Pakistan – A Pakistani doctor who helped the U.S. track down Usama bin Laden was sentenced to 33 years in prison on Wednesday for conspiring against the state, officials said, a verdict that is likely to further strain the country’s relationship with Washington.

    Shakil Afridi ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify bin Laden’s presence at the compound in the town of Abbottabad where U.S. commandos killed the Al Qaeda chief last May in a unilateral raid. The operation outraged Pakistani officials, who portrayed it as an act of treachery by a supposed ally.

    Senior U.S. officials have called for Afridi to be released, saying his work served Pakistani and American interests. But many Pakistani officials, especially those working for the country’s powerful spy agency, do not see it that way.
