Red Cross Report Contradicts Cheney's CNN Lies

Did you catch Cheney on CNN yesterday still insisting the Bush/Cheney Torture Regime never did anything illegal or unconstitutional? He also attacked Obama's presidency and said he's making America unsafe. Watch (if you can bear watching this evil, vile old man):



Regardless what he told a somewhat credulous Larry John King yesterday, I think the Red Cross papers the Washington Post reported on have far greater credibility-- and directly contradict Cheney's serial lies.

The International Committee of the Red Cross concluded in a secret report that the Bush administration's treatment of al-Qaeda captives "constituted torture," a finding that strongly implied that CIA interrogation methods violated international law, according to newly published excerpts from the long-concealed 2007 document.

The report, an account alleging physical and psychological brutality inside CIA "black site" prisons, also states that some U.S. practices amounted to "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment." Such maltreatment of detainees is expressly prohibited by the Geneva Conventions.

I know we're all focussed on putting banksters into prison now, but it's important not to let the Bush Regime criminals-- Cheney first and foremost-- get away while we're distracted by the latest bright shiny object.
