All pure fantasy, mike. Beside that, none of this was done in a vacuum. In other words, Congressional Democrats who nodded their heads in approval to these enhanced interrogation techniques would have to be tried right along with the scholars you're so eager to try to have persecuted... That is, so long as all this wasn't merely the foreshadowing of a massive show trial, to be held purely for political purposes. quote:
ORIGINAL: slvemike4uOkay sanity,how does this work for you...There are two seperate grounds under which these Lawyers might be prosecuted .1) internal memos that show they knew this wasn't legal....and than at the prodding of the Administation fashioned opinions that contradicted their own provable prior opinion. 2)Introduction of any internal work product that indicates in any way shape or form that what they were doing was fashioning a legal justification for what they knew was an illegal policy.In other words twisting the Constitution to come up with their conclusion of legality. The question of whether or not the prisoners were entitled to Constitutional protection is therefore removed from the equation,after all whether or not you beleive these men were entitled to protection under that Constitution these Lawyers were certainly accountable to that Constitutionl
