Biden let it slip out while he was making a campaign stop that the Senate had investigating committees documenting many of these types of crimes from the Bush regime even now while Bush is still president. He said that this was being done quietly, but it was being done for some legal reason which I don't understand as a layperson. He said it had to do with there having to be some investigation of a crime in a timely manner or else there couldn't be an investigation at all. In other words, if you know that a crime has been committed, you can't wait awhile and then just up and decide to press charges for no good reason. There has to be some sort of connection in time. I know that doesn't make much sense, but it gave me hope that the incoming Congress will actually use this information to prosecute these criminals. Of course, the campaign retracted the statement, but I don't think Sen. Biden would say something like that if there was no truth to it at all.

- thepoliticalcat, on 11/18/2008, -0/+10angeladtao, I wonder if he meant that the statute of limitations for prosecuting Bush's various crimes was close to running out? Legally, one only has a fixed period of time between the time one realized that a crime had been committed and the time that it could be prosecuted. After that period has tolled, one can't prosecute.

- UddinComm, on 11/18/2008, -0/+1Because of our actions, US troops and civilians are now in danger of being kidnapped and subjected to the same techniques to extract "confessions" for purely political reasons by foreign powers. We have now made it legal for other governments to use these same techniques in their prisons and against minority groups in their countries as well. If it is legal in the US, then it is now legal for anyone else to use it.
The only way to turn this back is to hold accountable those who justified torture, those who authorized torture and those who tortured detainees in US custody and supervision. The only way to restore US moral standing is to prosecute for this crime. - HarryStottle, on 11/21/2008, -0/+0frankly I'm ashamed we haven't already made this go viral.
That is one of the best and quickest ways we can help bring this kind of behaviour to an end. The wave of outrage and shame which a few million viewings of this material will create should be enough to force Congress and the incoming President to act.
Each of the criminals named in this documentary, from John Yu through to Donald Rumsfeld probably deserves to die for the war crimes they have collectively authorised. Their guilt must be determined, in public, by an appropriate war crimes tribunal established under the authority of the US Supreme Court.
Only then, will this stain be cleared from America's reputation. - sheeplescareme, on 11/18/2008, -1/+1i'm sorry, but you really need to watch this in order to get mad and to best understand it. people are living this; the least you can do is take the time to see why.
