Shopping around for "legal" opinions re: torture is B.S. Killing Jews in Nazi Germany was "legal" as per the Nuremberg laws. John Yoo should be fired from his teaching posts. Ironically, his classes is full because he is considered to be a "Constitutional expert."
"There is no definition of torture......" "That depends on what your definition of is, is." (William Jefferson Clinton)
Your report on multiple says of semi-automatic weapons contained not one iota of information that it was the ATF who was exporting many of these weapons.
Should have read: Your report of multiple sales of semi-automatic weapons contains not one iota of information that many of the weapons were exported by the ATF.
I want to congratulate Democracy Now! for getting bolder! I was afraid they were getting too centrist, moderate and themselves moving to the Right...as so many journalists and so-called alternative media tend move in the US these days.
I hope more than just reporting news after news - getting sick and sad by the minute - there is some real look at challeges and changes to this status quo. CIA's fake vaccination was a new low. There are American covert operatives now around the world trying to create a establish new imperialism, or merely protect the status quo.
