If President Obama won’t do it,
someone else will. Thankfully, a human rights group in Berlin, The European
Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, has begun the process of
indicting members of the Bush Administration by filing criminal complaints against
the architects of the Admin’s torture program.
Calls for an immediate
investigation by the German human rights group was started after outrage
ensued on the case of a German citizen, Khalid El-Masri, who had
been captured by CIA agents in 2004 because of a mistaken
identity mix-up and was tortured at a secret prison in Afghanistan.
Wolfgang Kaleck, the general
secretary of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, said:
“By investigating members of the
Bush administration, Germany can help to ensure that those responsible for
abduction, abuse and illegal detention do not go unpunished.”
In an interview with “Democracy Now,” Michael
Ratner, president emeritus of the Center for Constitutional Rights and chairman
of the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights, said that he
believes Cheney, among others, have no defense for torturous actions and
should be indicted:
“I strongly disagree
that Bush, Cheney, et al., would have a defense. This wasn’t like these memos
just appeared independently from the Justice Department. These memos were facilitated by the very
people — Cheney, etc. — who we believe should be indicted. This was
part of a conspiracy so they could get away with torture. But that’s not the
subject here now.”
“Secondly, whatever
we think of those memos, they’re of uselessness in Europe. Europe doesn’t
accept this, quote, ‘golden shield’ of a legal defense. Either it’s torture or it’s not. Either you
did it or you didn’t. And that’s one of the reasons, among others,
why we’re going to Europe and why we went to Europe to bring these cases
through the European Center.”
Ratner then hit the nail on the
head regarding America’s dangerous exceptionalism path down the road:
“But, of course, you
know, Cheney just showed us exactly why you have to — have to prosecute
torture. Because if you don’t prosecute it, the next guy down the line is going
to torture again. And that’s what Cheney said: ‘I would do it again.’”
Khalid El-Masri was on vacation
in Skopje, in Macedonia, when he was pulled off of a bus by government agents,
sodomized with a drug, and taken to the secret base that was identified only as
Cobalt in the CIA torture report. After four months, and after the United
States learned of the mistaken identity, they left him there and continued to
torture him. They held him further because the U.S. realized they had been
torturing the wrong man. Afterwards, they released him, dropping him off
somewhere to resume his life.
El-Masri in his own words, in the
same interview with “Democracy Now:”
[translated] I was the
only one in this prison in Kabul who was actually treated slightly better than
the other inmates. But it was known among the prisoners that other prisoners
were constantly tortured with blasts of loud music, exposed to constant
onslaughts of loud music. And they were—for up to five days, they were just
sort of left hanging from the ceiling, completely naked in ice-cold conditions.
The man from Tanzania, whom I mentioned before, had his arm broken in three
places. He had injuries, trauma to the head, and his teeth had been damaged.
They also locked him up in a suitcase for long periods of time, foul-smelling suitcase
that made him vomit all the time. Other people experienced forms of torture
whereby their heads were being pushed down and held under water.
He finished the interview with
some pretty damning words that should make George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza
Rice and Donald Rumsfeld shudder:
“And let me just say,
Germany — whatever happened before, between the NSA spying on Germany and the
fact that their citizen has now been revealed to have been kept in a torture
place, when it was known that he was innocent, I’m pretty sure that Germany is going to take this very seriously.“

We can help bring down the Cabal and defeat the Depopulation
Agenda
Big Pharma is one of the sources
of funds for the Cabal. It also serves as the weapon of mass destruction via
vaccine tainted with live virus it is suppose to protect us from, and the
deadly chemicals use to treat our diseases that they caused through our GMO /
pesticide contaminated food supply.
We can avoid using drugs, defeat
any viral attack and scaremongering easily by knowing how to build our own
comprehensive antiviral system. Find more about it here.
