News from the United States of America and Mr. Bush
Friends, colleagues and family. What do you think when you read this:
"I'm asking that Congress make it clear that captured terrorists cannot use the Geneva Conventions as a basis to sue our personnel in courts, in U.S. courts. The men and women who protect us should not have to fear lawsuits filed by terrorists because they're doing their jobs."
"The CIA program has detained only a limited number of terrorist at any
given time. [....] Others have been accused of terrible crimes against
the American people, and we have a duty to bring those responsible for
these crimes to justice. So we intend to prosecute these men, as
appropriate, for their crimes."
Read the speech yourself.
And inform yourself by reading the article on Internaional Herald Tribune (IHT) entitled "Bush acknowledges CIA prisons exist". .
