Seriously, how can there not be criminal charges against those involved. There are clear international laws on the treatment of prisoners or war, hence the Nuremberg trials after WW2 as the Nazi's broke loads of them.

Ahhh but the US said they were not Prisoners of War but Enemy Combatants and so did not have the rights under the various laws

Torturing people is considered a crime against humanity regardless of their status in terms of the geneva conventions. Reclassifying them may make GWB & Co sleep better at night but it doesn't change the facts.

I'm sure if someone in the USA decided to rename their tax evasion as "shenanigans" the IRS would consider that to be perfectly fine.

British agents may have known of ‘odd case’ of CIA torture, says Lord West http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2014 ... -lord-westQuite apart from his whitewash inquiries into the Rigby murder and global spying, Rifkind is now releasing pro-intelligence agency statements while his latest inquiry is ongoing. Oh, and he gets to decide if there's a larger inquiry into the inquiry... This is also a former foreign secretary for a party currently in power, with little fear of the opposition since they were in power when it happened! I imagine they'll just print up some more leaflets to raise the fear level though, eh?
