ACLU Still On A Torture Kick
It seems to me the pinheads at the ACLU aren’t happy unless they are slinging mud at the United States. To them, we are the ultimate enemy in the world. We are even the enemy of, get this, us.
In their latest Press Release, the ACLU is again bashing the United States military by pushing the torture issue. Keep in mind, it was the ACLU and certain mainstream print media that got a federal judge (big surprise) to order the military to release the remainder of the Abu Ghraib photos.
NEW YORK -The American Civil Liberties Union today released a detailed report on the failure of the U.S. abroad and at home to comply with the treaty against torture. The report was filed with the U. N. Committee Against Torture, which will review U. S. compliance with the Convention Against Torture in early May.
“America’s image was tarnished not just by the Abu Ghraib photographs but by the failure to hold high level officials accountable for the abuse that happened on their watch,” said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. “It’s been two years — too little and too late when it comes to accountability. When our leaders allow torture and are not held accountable for illegal abuses, all of America suffers.”
Umm, didn’t someone resembling me write a thread on the 26th on this very topic? Let’s revisit it, shall we?
The Army has conducted more than 600 criminal investigations resulting in charges against 251 soldiers who went before courts-martial or faced administrative punishment. It says three courts-martial remain, plus a smattering of administrative cases of which 174 have already been concluded.” SOURCE
Ok the United States Army conducted over 600 criminal investigations. Of those, 251 soldiers have been charged. But these were cases of mistreatment, not torture.
Since when does the UN have any teeth? For the love of Mike, the UN can’t even get Iran to comply with the IAEA and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The UN is an impotent non-entity. The concept of the UN was novel at the time of its inception, but at this point it is little more than a white elephant taking up space in New York. It is nothing more than a collection of diplomats that come to our country, violate our laws under the shield of diplomatic immunity, and suck up our oxygen. They need to be kicked to the curb.
The Washington Times piece where I got that quote on the Army investigations from outlines in detail the extent that the US Army has gone to be sure that mistreatment of our detainees does not happen. Military leaders in this nation are all in agreement that torture does not work. So why in the world would they engage in a practice that would be counter productive? The fact is they wouldn’t.
I don’t trust any report out of the UN anyway. Take a look at the Darfur situation. The UN is a corrupt organization where you can basically buy an the answer you want out of them. I wonder how much the ACLU paid old corrupt Kofi for this report? Because we all know that moron is for sale.
And as for Anthony Romero… Take a look at what I said a few days ago about that idiot.
These peace-nicks have no comprehension what actual torture is. Perhaps the military should invite Anthony Romero and William Schulz to experience actual torture techniques. There are a couple of schools which teach our special ops people how to resist torture. Perhaps they could educate Mr. Romero and Mr. Schulz as to what exactly torture is. Because it seems that in the minds of the ACLU, Amnesty International, and other groups, just being locked up is torture. SOURCE
I meant it then and I mean it now. These anti-American organizations take a rumor, issue a press release calling it fact, then send legions of lawyers to these poor mistreated terrorists and attempt to get them Constitutional rights.
According to the ACLU report, violations of the torture treaty are not limited to actions by military personnel overseas in the “war on terror,” but in fact are all too common here at home. In a stark example of the horrific conditions of confinement that persist in prisons throughout the country, more than 1,000 prisoners were abandoned and left in their cells for days without food, water or ventilation when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in August 2005. Abusive conditions of confinement also persist in so-called Supermax prisons: prison rape and sexual assault are daily occurrences, and the use of Tasers and restraint devices have endangered numerous detainees and prisoners held domestically. SOURCE
Ok, let me get this straight, the ACLU is calling the failings of the authorities in Louisiana during hurricane Katrina a federal government failing that is deserving of being called torture? Am I reading that right? Or how about prison rapes? Most people in Supermax prisons have murdered and raped. And the last time that I checked, in all of our Supermax prisons, inmates are locked down 23 out of 24 hours. So how is it that there is prison rape happening in a Supermax?
These people actually believe the crap that they write and say don’t they. They live in a fantasy world that could only be dreamed up by a liberal. Because there is no logic in their thinking. None at all.
The ACLU considers the use of Tasers as torture because the criminal is incapacitated and arrested. Their citing of deaths caused by Tasers are inaccurate. It has been stated that most of those deaths occurred to individuals who were long term drug users that had developed an undiagnosed heart difficulty. So what would the ACLU rather police do? Shoot their precious innocent until proven guilty perps? That has happened already directly because of the ACLU.
A man in California charged police with a carving knife. The police department suspended use of Tasers based on the ACLU report linking deaths to the device. Officers were forced to shoot the mentally ill man because they had no non-lethal means to subdue him.
If it were up to the ACLU there would be no prison rapes or violence because there would be no prisons. They don’t believe that anyone can stand in the way of a person’s right to commit a crime. Prosecution itself is torture to these pinheads.
In closing, I invite you to re-read my thread of the 26th “Torture Numbers Unclear” and Jay’s post “One Nation Under The ACLU”
Gateway Pundit says Amnesty International is taking the U.S. to the U.N. Torture Court as well.
