Countdown on torture and war crimes accountability
July 13th, 2008
Countdown discusses the new report by Jane Mayer in her book, The Dark Side, that the Red Cross stated that the CIA’s “enhanced interrogation” program is categorically torture. In it Georgetown University law professor Jonathan Turley states:
“I’d never thought I would say this, but I think it might in fact be time for the United States to be held internationally to a tribunal. I never thought in my lifetime I would say that.”
