The United States of Torture
09/03/2009 [article] / World / Americas

The scandal connected with the investigation of CIA's tortures of terrorist suspects has been gathering pace in the United States. CIA officials said September 2 that they would not publicize more details of methods of tortures used against terrorist suspects at CIA prisons. It is about time the USA should do something about the law-enforcement system of the United States, especially when it comes to the CIA, because the people, who started working at the CIA during Bush's presidency, still have their jobs

The sadism that led to the torture policies of George W. Bush can be traced back to his days as governor of the execution crazed state of Texas, where he signed over one hundred and fifty death warrants and contemptuously mocked inmates, like Karla Fay Tucker, who were scheduled for execution, while at the same time routinely denying petitions for DNA tests that could have exonerated wrongfully convicted prisoners

The USA will retain court-martial rules against terrorist suspects. It seemed to the world that Obama marked the new era in the field of human rights defense. However, it looks like Obama has run out of his spirit of the reformer, especially when it comes to his resistance to the CIA, which many Americans refer to as "a state within a state."

US President Obama believes it is a bad time now to publish the photographs of tortures, which were used in the prisons of Iraq and Afghanistan under the previous administration of the United States. The American Civil Liberties Union stated that the decision to block the publication of the new photographs contradicted to Obama’s promises to keep transparency and accountability

The hearings on the case of abuse of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisoners started in the USA. The scandal started several years ago, when several excerpts of video footage depicting tortures of prisoners were distributed by the media all over the world. The tapes were subsequently destroyed. However, the videos made it obvious that the prisoners were tortured through sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation and drowning

There are two lines of arguments in favour of closing Guantanamo. Firstly the USA is criticized for the fact that the prisoners on the base are being kept in indecent conditions and that they are systematically degraded and subjected to torture

The 9/11 attacks were not done by terrorists. They were created for justification of U.S. covert plans to grab influence over oil politics in the Middle East and as an excuse to take away the rest of Americans' liberties through a manufactured threat-scenario called, "The War On Terror."

Concentration camp is necessary to protect American society, claims Bush
The President of the United States of America apparently loses no sleep about the fact that his country hosts the world's only concentration camp since Treblinka, Dachau and Belsen and the like. He even seems rather smug about the whole idea, justifying its existence to Germany's Chancellor Merkel as being necessary for the protection of the USA

We Americans developed a very good manual for torturing "leftist rebels," i.e. anyone who opposes "free trade" and organizes themselves enough to be a threat
When Jonathan Swift wrote "A Modest Proposal" in 1729, suggesting that the poor eat their own children and thereby solve the twin problems of poverty and hunger, the obvious satire was missed by some who actually supported his proposal. The same danger exists with "High Time for Torture," a satirical piece that reveals the absurdity of torture as a sanctioned policy by extending it to its logical limits. The writer, an American author and speaker who explores the implications of technology, religion, and science for 21st century life, evokes vivid images of using torture in the workplace and the home to show that torture flourishes only when people can not hear, see or smell its real-life consequences for flesh-and-blood human beings. This article is a non-ideological cry of outrage
