Justinian in Roger Fitch Esq
Former general counsel of the CIA under
investigation over drone attack "murder" remark ... War crimes don't
need a war (apparently) ... Novel offences likely to remain on the books ...
Ideological Republican circuit judges flout the Supreme Court ... Our Man in
Washington reports
"Aside
from the humanitarian aspects, it is well known that, under excruciating
torture, a prisoner will admit almost any suggested crime. Such confessions
are, of course, not admissible in trials in civilized nations... Some of our
leaders have found that it is easy to forgo human rights for those who are
considered to be subhuman, or 'enemy combatants'."
Jimmy Carter, the last American
president moderately attached to human rights
