NEWS From My Perspective!

May 06-2009:

Former George W. Bush Officials May Eventually Be Brought To Justice!

Some of George W. Bush's attorneys who wrote directives on how to torture prisoners and get away with it legally, are now being petitioned for a pardon. Yes, the Attorney General now has too decide whether an investigation into the conduct of those attorneys is warranted. And who were responsible for the torture memos, and who their superior's were, that gave those orders in The White House.

Will the Attorney General have the guts to follow through on this expectation of most Americans polled?

We will have to wait and see! But the president said publicly that he will not pre-judge how his Attorney General will deal with this evidence!

However, CNN's polling of Americans seem to suggest the following:

* Most Americans do not want those CIA operatives and other Intelligence personnel, who actually carried out the orders to torture prisoners litigated.

* But most Americans polled wanted the The White House Officials who gave the order in writing to carry out those torture directives, be brought to justice, regardless of who were involved.

America Does Not Torture-Barack H Obama!

America Does Not Torture-Barack H. Obama!

Definitions of TORTURE:

* Extreme mental distress:

* Intense feelings of suffering; acute mental or physical pain:

* The act of distorting something so it seems to mean something it was not intended to mean:

* The deliberate, systematic, or wanton infliction of physical or mental suffering by one or more persons in an attempt to force another person to yield information or to make a confession or for any other reason:

So what kinds of torture are we referring to, in relation to how we treat prisoners that are terror suspects?

America Does Not Condone Torture!

This is the view and contention of president Barack H. Obama, in relation to torture. But what is still not clear to us all, is what aspect of torture do we condone, and what we do not condone, in relation to prisoners that are incarcerated for terrorist activities, at home and abroad.

Until some CLEARLY spelled out explanation is given to the American people about torture, this issue will continue to be debated online, via the media, and any forum where this issue is of some concern.
