Will George Tenet wear his Presidential Medal of Freedom over the orange coverall?

Closing In on the Torturers

By Ray McGovern

August 28, 2009 "Information Clearing House" ---- - Do you think the wardens will let George Tenet wear his Presidential Medal of Freedom over the orange coverall?

Perhaps he and Donald Rumsfeld will end up doing time together in one of the prisons also slated to host what Rumsfeld called "the worst of the worst" from Guantanamo.

That would be poetic justice of a most ironic kind. And if the two former leaders do end up in prison they can count themselves fortunate for having dodged execution for their roles in a slew of capital offenses.

You see, punishments for violations of the War Crimes Act (18 U.S.C. 2441), applicable in their case, include the death penalty-often the sentence of choice if detainees die in their custody. And countless have.

Before you question my sanity, please know that I just completed the arduous task of reading the aging but devastating CIA Inspector General's report on torture.

once I figured out what it meant. I'm a bit slow this morning and it was subtle. I would love to see that whole cabal in orange jumpsuits, medals or no medals.

any of the criminals of the last administration paying any kind of penalty for their crimes as there is of Ali Larter showing up at my door wearing only a towel and asking if she can use my shower. It ain't gonna happen.
