Scott Horton calls for prsecuting Steven Bradbury, one of the torture “lawyers”
February 16th, 2008
Commenting on Steven Bradbury’s awful testimony defending waterboarding and why this torture really isn’t “torture” Scott Horton accuses Bradbury of “participation in a criminal conspiracy to introduce a regime of torture as defined in American and international law”:
“Bradbury has no business serving in the Justice Department or in any other public office. He should now be the target of a criminal investigation, together with the other policy-level figures who drove the introduction and propagation of this torture regime. Indeed, beyond their essential criminality, no group of people have done more in the last seven years to undermine the security of every American citizen than these shadowy, ethically-challenged figures who seem propelled by the credo that they stand above the law because they can twist it to say whatever they want.”
