Torture Will Not Go Away

As much as the Obama Administration, along with the Confederate party, might wish that the issue of torture would fade away, it is not.

In Australia, a new probe has been opened into the torture of an Australian citizen by Egyptian torturers, torture that was allegedly witnessed by Australian and American spooks, where Australian and American spooks asked the questions and the Egyptians did the dirty work.

Given that the last American president admitted authorizing the use of torture in his self-styled memoirs, this issue is not going to go away.

And it should not.
