If a citizen of this country breaks a law he, or she is arrested and goes to jail.Our
nation signed the Geneva Convention. There has been rules since
1864. It has been updated and in 1946 Common article three says
Prisoners should be treated in a humane fashion. Our Supreme Court has upheld the
law.
Waterboarding . makes a person nearly drown.Keeping a prisoner awake for days
Is torture. No clothes, feeding through the anus is torture.
President Bush, Vice-President Cheney and anyone who was part of these acts should
be arrested.
No Democrat or Republican leader has the guts to go after our criminals. How about
Another country who signed the agreement charge them? If our leaders are not charged, then any prisoner can be abused or murdered.
America is a big country; that does not allow us to break the rules of a document
we signed. Even if , President Obama pardons the criminals, at least
the world will know these folks committed crimes and should be labeled criminals.
I don't want your loved one held as a prisoner and tortured. If the world knows we
ignore laws we don't like, why can't they?
Criminal Cheney goes on Meet the Press and said "We got Bin laden."
Criminal Cheney and his group did nothing to capture Osama
Hard, meticulous work captured Osama. Torture played no part. Common sense says
a prisoner will say anything to stop the pain.
Charging our leader's matters, or else all countries are no better than the monsters
in Syria and Iraq.
Torture has kept no one safe. How dare Cheney say no more buildings came down
And people killed. Almost every day new signs of terrorism appear in our world.
Terrorism is winning. A funny movie is pulled from viewing because of fear. Different
Methods of terror are happening now. Bad guys are getting smarter. A suitcase
left on the bench, hacking computers, bio-chemical terror is alive and well.
American leaders signed a legal document, then ignored parts we didn't like. It's time
for another nation to charge our criminals.
