HUMAN RIGHTS
The Center for Constitutional Rights [CCR] has posted the Pentagon report entitled "Detainee Interrogations in the Global War on Terrorism" | It had been drafted 6 march 2003 and immediately sheilded by none other than Donald Rumsfield | Now declassified, thanks to the 9/11 Commission, it postulates early on why some believd that Al Qedia and Taliban (and who knew whom else) were "exempted" from the protocols of the Geneva Convention prohibiting torture during questioning | Basically, members of these groups were neither signatories of the document nor were their groups recognized as governments, per se |
Hell, using that logic, I don't know anybody who fits these categories |
Anways, The document, some 52 pages in length, probably warrants having on hand for reference, just in case the usurpers of the democratic republic decide to censor them from online | And just in case you think this is implausible, keep in mind that many syncophants behind Bush, Inc have already floated their belief that they can cancel the elections if there is a terrorist attack | I presume this includes one that the Bushies would facilitate |
CCR has the document on its website as an Adobe pdf file | It's over 6meg in size and if you don't have DSL or cable modem it takes at least 25 minutes to download | Anyway, that link is: http://www.ccr-ny.org/v2/reports/docs/PentagonReportMarch.pdf
ABOUT CCR: Website blurb: "CCR stands up for the proposition that the dignity and physical integrity of all human beings is inviolable.
