The USA is GUILTY of torture

It is now breaking news that the Red Cross is confirming that the US actions against detainees in Guantanamo Bay has been deemed as torture. Now for those of you who are just thinking, oh the Red Cross what did they do ask for a donation of blood? What on earth does the Red Cross have that could hold any leverage over the world and make us listen? Well according to that little document known as the Geneva Convention, the body that will deem if or if not a suspected government, country, or group is guilty of the war crime of torture is.... The Red Cross.

According to the report, detainees were "beaten, bound and bleeding, forced into coffin-like boxes, shackled naked to their beds in darkened cells, deprived of food for weeks, forced underwater to the point of near-drowning, ordered to stand for days." They conducted interviews with 14 "high value" detainees who were separated and had none or limited communication with one another yet according to the Red Cross their stories and details were near perfect matches. Also "The leaked report has prompted renewed calls for Cheney and Bush to be charged with war crimes".

Now the Red Cross is not commenting and denying this is true so hopefully they are just waiting to announce it themselves instead of this leak and it is not a hoax. We need Bush and Cheney convicted of a war crime, if we don't I will lose all faith in the judicial system we have in treating no man above the law. Maybe they should use some past examples for ideas on punishments. When the Nazis' tortured and we convicted of it, they were executed.... hmmm lets see how much Bush favors the death penalty.
