I posted it a couple days ago but I don't think it got a lot of views- happy to K & R.
People need to see what a deplorable use of the "States Secrets" tool was made.

do so as well. With that said, I wish the average American, who seems to get most of their information from the MSM could understand what this hideous practice involves and WHY it is wrong for the US to participate. If they were informed we might get the response needed to bring this to an end. US citizens seem to be under the impression that we need these tactics, that we are made safer, that it is not illegal etc, all of which is false. Also, these tactics are not supported by those trained in interrogation by and large, as this is not a liberal vs. conservative issue but more of a rogue practice vs trained legal interrogation practices. Very frustrating that the MSM will not participate in giving this topic full examination, instead you get pitiful bias mention when and if they report on the issue at all. All those here at DU and forums like this are informed, but unfortunately most Americans imo are not.

Most people view the ACLU as they would a personal injury lawyer, it's not important until they need their services. And as they watch American Idol and Hannitys out there, they are totally unaware that this country is no longer a democracy, but sliding into fascism.

value of the rule of law, it is now.

"Repairing the damage caused by the program's operation requires not simply a change in policy, but accountability of those involved and redress for its victims; this cannot be achieved through presidential order alone."

Now, let's see if this will be adhered to:
