Patrick Cockburns latest peice published in counter punch deals with the effects of the United State's torture policy. It asks what the effect has been on our mission in Iraq. To help answer this question Cockburn talks with an unidtenfied memember of the US military. To better understand where the peice is going one needs only to look at the title "Torture? It Probably Killed More Americans Than 9/11".
As the worlds attetion is diverted from toture to swine flu its important that people keep this dialouge on touture open. Obama's idea of moving on and not proscuting those responsible will only allow this problem to grow in the future. The book on the Bush/Cheney presidency has only begun to open, it is not time to move on. Without properly adressing the crimes of the last presidency there is no way this county can "move on" or "change".
