Is It Frivolous To Wonder if Obama Is A War Criminial?
2011-04-14 | Filed Under SteveG's Posts |
Perhaps when I made the post What Would Finally Convince You That Bush (Obama) is A War Criminal?, it wasn’t clear why I might include Obama in the story.
The article by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, My Experience Dealing With the Department of Defense Regarding Pfc. Bradley Manning Has Been Kafkaesque, gives some details of what sparked Obama’s inclusion in the original post and this post too.
We now hear that the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Juan E. Mendez, was denied a private meeting with Pfc. Manning in order to determine whether the conditions of Manning’s confinement amount to torture. The very existence of a U.N. Special Rapporteur on torture investigation speaks volumes about the conditions of his treatment.The continued delays I have experienced amount to a subversion of Pfc. Manning’s legal rights as well as my own rights and obligations as a Member of Congress to conduct oversight. The whole world is now watching.
