		<description>&quot;Torture Was Used to Try to Link Saddam with 9/11&quot; 
 
Well, that wouldn&#039;t have been the only question that would have been asked. Don&#039;t you think? 
 
There is evidence of a connection and the biased media won&#039;t cover it. There is also evidence on the same website showing Saddam and Iraq were a threat to American interest. But again, because of the bias, the American people will never know about it. 
 
This in of itself is a crime.

		<description>The article was received via email (like most of the articles here) on the 2nd of May. If it&#039;s been published elsewhere then that&#039;s just the luck of the draw and will not prevent me from sharing it with RINF readers. 
 
If the email had contained a link then it would have been published along with the article, since there wasn&#039;t a link in the email non appeared on the site. 
 
Hope this helps with your understanding. </description>

		<description>Back in January of 2002, when Alberto Gonzales was chief White House counsel, (a position traditionally referred to as &#8220;the conscience of the White House&#8221;) he sent a legal memo to President Bush, saying: &quot;As you have said, the war against terrorism is a new kind of war. The nature of the new war places a high premium on other factors, such as the ability to quickly obtain information from captured terrorists and their sponsors in order to avoid further atrocities against American civilians.&quot;  
 
He then laid out broad arguments that anticipated any objections to the conduct of U.S. soldiers or CIA interrogators in the future, and he concluded in no uncertain terms: &quot;In my judgment, this new paradigm renders obsolete Geneva&#039;s strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions.&quot; 
 
In his memo, Gonzales advised the President to declare that the Geneva Convention did not apply to the war against Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.   Such a declaration by the President, he said, &#8220;would substantially reduce the threat of domestic criminal prosecution under the War Crimes Act&#8230;&#8221;  
 
The War Crimes Act, (l8 U.S.C. 2441) which was passed by Congress in 1996, banned any Americans from committing war crimes&#8212;defined in part as &quot;grave breaches&quot; of the Geneva Conventions.  
 
Gonzales&#8217; appalling legal memo made him complicit in the criminal abuses at Abu Ghraib because he gave the president a legal justification for &quot;grave breaches&quot; of the Geneva Conventions - itself a violation of The U.S. War Crimes Act.  
  
Various media outlets report that an estimated 108 people have died in U.S. custody in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Of the prisoner deaths, at least 26 have been investigated as criminal homicides involving possible abuse.  
 
The War Crimes Act, which Gonzales hoped to sidestep, says in part: &#8220;Whoever, whether inside or outside the United States, commits a war crime, in any of the circumstances described in subsection (b), shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for life or any term of years, or both, and if death results to the victim, shall also be subject to the penalty of death.&#8221;  
 
President Obama must uphold his oath of office and &quot;take care that the laws be faithfully executed&quot; insuring a criminal trial for Gonzales, Bush, Cheney, Rice, Addington, Haynes, Yoo, Rumsfeld and others under the U.S.War Crimes Act. </description>

		<description>[...] Barack Obama hat im April vier Memos an die ACLU herausgeben lassen. Darin wurde der CIA von Bushs Justizministerium erkl&#228;rt, dass es juristisch zwar heikel sei, Gefangene zehn &#8220;speziellen Verh&#246;rtechniken&#8221; wie dem dem Schlagen des Kopfes gegen eine Wand oder dem simulierten Ertrinken durch Waterbording zu unterzuziehen, aber das rechtens und keine Folter sei. Schlie&#223;lich sei ja ein Arzt dabei, der bei Bedarf einen Luftr&#246;hrenschnitt machen k&#246;nne. Nun kommt heraus, warum das Regime von George W. Bush soviel gefoltert hat. [...]</description>
