I tried to follow you on Twitter but it just had a great big picture of people with plackards. I think something is wrong with the styling on the page - I can't view it with Firefox under Ubuntu.

Wonderful news that these memos were published. What a step to take!
And if I understand correctly, those who actually practised the torture methods -did- think it was legal because they had received clear instructions to do so.

Quote from the BBC.co.uk news article:
"Three of the documents were written in May 2005 by the then acting head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), Stephen Bradbury. They gave legal support for the combined use of various coercive techniques, and concluded that the CIA's methods were not "cruel, inhuman or degrading" under international law."

It's that guy I want to see taken to court.

I agree with Antonio I am not sure why everyone is so scared to bring these people to justice! It must be stopped and something must be done to show that we will not tolerate this any more! Obama is heading in the right direction but I feel he needs more courage to go all the way!

Personally I don't give a damn if it's America, Mexico, China or England!!! Law and Justice have never had a nationality or label to name on them. If someone comited a crime... this someone will pay the consequences of his or her acts. Personally I don't care where he or she is from!!!

Antonio, I argee-basically, they are getting away with murder. Are we turning a blind eye because it is America?

I just have a question.. why everytime that the true colors of a bad administration like the one Bush held are shown up into the lights people are afraid to do something?... I can not find an explanation to it! If someone commited cruel acts and with that held a criminal regime with torture for example, these people MUST BE taken to justice and have a trial to them. This is no FUCKING JOKE... US government must stop covering the reality with speeches and paper work to do something about it. I repeat... THIS IS NO FUCKING JOKE!... Pardon my language but sometimes things must be said the way it must be said.

Publishation of documents good as openness in the US system is good news. Bad news is the immunity from prosecution. Poeple responsible should be held accountable for illegal acts that were committed in the 'war against terror'.
