"Torture : the new American Virtue", apropos Helen Thomas' article, Alex Jones also notes:

Dershowitz: Torture could be justified
"we could use] a torture warrant... I would talk about nonlethal torture, say, a sterilized needle underneath the nail, which would violate the Geneva Accords, but you know, countries all over the world violate the Geneva Accords."

DOD is way ahead of Dershowitz according to Jones, who says DOD has admitted torturing people to death at Guantanamo, among other places. The bureaucratic cover language is they died "from other causes during interrogation".

The effect is simple - our soldiers are now subject to torture.

>>Because of our defiance of international law, our nation also will fall from its pedestal as a great moral leader to the world. We will be feared -- but we will no longer be revered...we will undoubtedly reap a legacy of hate. <<

Without moral leadership our military superiority will become useless.
