Crimes against Humanity (CHum)
Author: Raine
Date: 06/02/2008 06:36:32
Now we have Torture Ships.
Since 2001. Since the *Resident told us that we longer use rendition, it is even more troubling that 200 cases were alegedly carried out. How are these not crimes against humanity?
Source.
In case anyone forgot, a few years ago, we learned that America was practicing extraordinary rendition. It is also known as "torture by proxy". In 2006, the report that stunned so many people was that we renditioned one hundred people. Did you get that?
100.
Can we go back, for a minute? Did you see where I mentioned that since 2006 we did this to 200 people? Is the scale being put into place?
A little background...
A Canadian citizen told his story about what happened to him. America sent him to Syria -- he was tortured. A Canadian. oh, and btw... the US picked him up at Kennedy Airport.
Over the past 7 years there have been many stories like this. Here is another, from 2004.
I could go on. I am tempted to go on. Tempted because I think at the time when these terrible atrocities were happening, many of my fellow Americans were at the height of a patriotic fervour. Even in 2004, many were still very in shock and distraught about the events of 9/11. *ush was still a rather popular man, and many did not want to know or listen to those that would speak out against him. Are they ready to listen now? In 2006, Bush said we do not practice extraordinary rendition.
Well, now I want people to listen. Here we are in 2008, and today we are learning that this administration has torture SHIPS. Boats. BIG ass Boats... and we are accused of keeping these people in the hulls. We interrogated them on board and then 'rendered' them to undisclosed locations. PBS told us ALL about it last year.
Oh, and Blackwater helped transport *suspects* as well...
Nice, huh? You know, I would like to know if anyone kept a list of ALL the people on these ships. it would be really easy for a person to suddenly become chum. Ooopsie, a suspect died, the body can now be given a burial at sea. Yes, my snark is at full tilt right now.
It's easier to make chum than anything to put into an oven. I say this to inflame, yes, but to also get people to understand that this is not a holocaust or a genocide, but this is a beginning of a terrible atrocity of a people. I use 'beginning' lightly as well... I think we are actually in full bore.
In light of that snark, I would like to know who implemented this policy? Is it like Abu Ghraib, a policy where we never really get the full story about who gave those commands? You can't blame a few bad apples on this one, not when you have SHIPS, Amphibious Assault vehicles and the like carrying out these practices. This administration has used (perhaps 'forced' would be a better word) our fine men and women who volunteered to serve our nation with honour, to carry out war crimes and atrocities that make me cry for our nation.
This administration has been found guilty of crimes against humanity once. It's time that we NOW do something about it, for real. Do you hear me, Speaker Pelosi? Do you think for one minute that we are treating prisoners better on a boat than we did at Abu Grahib, when we are still trying to say that waterboarding is a legal practice? The bigger question is WHY we are allowing these practices to continue. Why? Just how far can this administration actually bend the law? It seems as though once they do, they know they can break it because you took impeachment off the table.
Ms. Pelosi, don't you get it?
I think it is time for this man to be charged with crimes against humanity. At one point in time we could have blamed Rummy, but he has been gone since 11/06... you can't keep blaming this on him. Not when we are learning that AFTER he left office we increased it by about 100%. 100 incidents BEFORE 2006, 200 since (I may be a bit conservative in my math).
The President is our nation's leader... it is time for him to take responsibility for his actions. AND, if they were not his actions, he needs to come clean. At that point he needs to held accountable. If he cannot, we need a house speaker who will. This is not about a blowjob, This is not about politics, or positioning for the '08 elections... this is about EVERYTHING this nation was built upon.
How about this... we forget about Iraq with all those bogeymen terrorists and start being as concerned about this president and our own country and Constitution, THEN we worry about the bad guys over there? In other words: let's clean up our own house before we start telling everyone else how to run theirs. The USA has some serious cleaning up to do.
These are crimes against humanity. Either we hold our own accountable or the world will truly judge this administration. The only other thought is that this administration is trying to redefine *Humanity*... that is a scary thought. We could all be chum then, you know.
:peace: and :heart:

The United States is operating "floating prisons" to house those arrested in its war on terror, according to human rights lawyers, who claim there has been an attempt to conceal the numbers and whereabouts of detainees.
Details of ships where detainees have been held and sites allegedly being used in countries across the world have been compiled as the debate over detention without trial intensifies on both sides of the Atlantic. The US government was yesterday urged to list the names and whereabouts of all those detained.
Information about the operation of prison ships has emerged through a number of sources, including statements from the US military, the Council of Europe and related parliamentary bodies, and the testimonies of prisoners.
The analysis, due to be published this year by the human rights organisation Reprieve, also claims there have been more than 200 new cases of rendition since 2006, when President George Bush declared that the practice had stopped.
[...]
According to research carried out by Reprieve, the US may have used as many as 17 ships as "floating prisons" since 2001. Detainees are interrogated aboard the vessels and then rendered to other, often undisclosed, locations, it is claimed.
Since 2001. Since the *Resident told us that we longer use rendition, it is even more troubling that 200 cases were alegedly carried out. How are these not crimes against humanity?
In 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) was established in The Hague (Netherlands) and the Rome Statute provides for the ICC to have jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The definition of what is a "crime against humanity" for ICC proceedings has significantly broadened from its original legal definition or that used by the UN,[1] and Article 7 of the treaty stated that:
For the purpose of this Statute, "crime against humanity" means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack:Murder;
.
Extermination;
Enslavement;
Deportation or forcible transfer of population;
Imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law;
Torture;
Rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity;
Persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity on political, racial, national, ethnic, cultural, religious, gender as defined in paragraph 3, or other grounds that are universally recognized as impermissible under international law, in connection with any act referred to in this paragraph or any crime within the jurisdiction of the Court;
Enforced disappearance of persons;
The crime of apartheid;
Other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health
In case anyone forgot, a few years ago, we learned that America was practicing extraordinary rendition. It is also known as "torture by proxy". In 2006, the report that stunned so many people was that we renditioned one hundred people. Did you get that?
100.

Good move, Random. There are two new trolls (I think) over there -
I admit - so often, I want to get into it with them - but that would violate my personal rule of not engaging hecklers...
Thankfully there a lot of great SM fans over there that are willing to take the stress of it.

Raine, an excellent if troubling post. I read the Guardian story while working on the Daily Headlines last night. I was sickened.
In war, one of the first things that is done by many governments is to redefine the enemy as something less human than one's own side and allies. While this is wrong, what has been done with my tax dollars is far worse: torture of people and practices that we rightfully condemned in the Nuremberg war crimes trials.
Here is some news:
Senator Kennedy to have brain surgery this morning
The UNN Daily Headlines are up.
While much of the news today is distressing, let us not lose faith in our ability to bring about positive change. Even in humanity's darkest hours, there were those who were willing to shine a light on the truth and take a stand. May their courage and honesty inspire us in our own times.

Gads! I skimmed this story this morning in my morning paper (HuffPo). This is horrifying. Yes, lets just detain, question then dump at sea our supposed enemies. Whatever happened to trial and conviction? Its becoming a quaint remembrance.
In the 70's Argentina used to drop political prisoners into the sea from helicopters.

This should cheer everybody up. This is Barack holding "Baby" a dog rescued from a puppy mill that will be featured in a book coming out this week A Rare Breed of Love. Baby lost a leg due to cage confinement and had her vocal cords cut so the owners of the mill wouldn't have to listen to her cry. The book will have pictures of her with celebs like Moby, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Sedaris and this guy:

A belated good morning. 
I think I need to put the A/C back in on my days off. When it's warm, the fan really doesn't help me sleep.
So, Bush is turning this country into Pinochet's Chile where we use ships instead of soccer fields. And no one wants to impeach the bastard.

Donnie: She wouldn't have been called out by the media if she hadn't used such despicable campaign tactics. Also: Obama is winning because he won more pledged delegates, and because he ran a better campaign (he targeted areas where he could maximize his delegate count).

Bush pep talk to Cabinet on Iraq: "We are going to wipe them out!"
So, can we declare Bush a war criminal now?
So, can we declare Bush a war criminal now?
Let me briefly set the scene, as Sanchez tells it on pages 349-350 of Wiser in Battle. It's April 6, 2004. L. Paul Bremer III, head of the occupation's Coalition Provisional Authority, as well as the President's colonial viceroy in Baghdad, and Gen. Sanchez were in Iraq in video teleconference with the President, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. (Assumedly, the event was recorded and so revisitable by a note-taking Sanchez.) The first full-scale American offensive against the resistant Sunni city of Fallujah was just being launched, while, in Iraq's Shiite south, the U.S. military was preparing for a campaign against cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army militia.
According to Sanchez, Powell was talking tough that day: "We've got to smash somebody's ass quickly," the general reports him saying. "There has to be a total victory somewhere. We must have a brute demonstration of power." (And indeed, by the end of April, parts of Fallujah would be in ruins, as, by August, would expanses of the oldest parts of the holy Shiite city of Najaf. Sadr himself would, however, escape to fight another day; and, in order to declare Powell's "total victory," the U.S. military would have to return to Fallujah that November, after the U.S. presidential election, and reduce three-quarters of it to virtual rubble.) Bush then turned to the subject of al-Sadr: "At the end of this campaign al-Sadr must be gone," he insisted to his top advisors. "At a minimum, he will be arrested. It is essential he be wiped out."
Not long after that, the President "launched" what an evidently bewildered Sanchez politely describes as "a kind of confused pep talk regarding both Fallujah and our upcoming southern campaign [against the Mahdi Army]." Here then is that "pep talk." While you read it, try to imagine anything like it coming out of the mouth of any other American president, or anything not like it coming out of the mouth of any evil enemy leader in the films of the President's -- and my -- childhood:
"'Kick ass!' [Bush] said, echoing Colin Powell's tough talk. 'If somebody tries to stop the march to democracy, we will seek them out and kill them! We must be tougher than hell! This Vietnam stuff, this is not even close. It is a mind-set. We can't send that message. It's an excuse to prepare us for withdrawal.
"There is a series of moments and this is one of them. Our will is being tested, but we are resolute. We have a better way. Stay strong! Stay the course! Kill them! Be confident! Prevail! We are going to wipe them out! We are not blinking!'"
Keep in mind that the bloodlusty rhetoric of this "pep talk" wasn't meant to rev up Marines heading into battle. These were the President's well-embunkered top advisors in a strategy session on the eve of major military offensives in Iraq. Evidently, however, the President was intent on imitating George C. Scott playing General George Patton -- or perhaps even inadvertently channeling one of the evil villains of his onscreen childhood.

FOR ALL OF OUR GA READERS:
Mark your calendars now. At long last we will get our first day in court. On Monday June 9 Todd Harding, with assistance from our lead counsel, Walker Chandler, will make an oral argument in support of his motion for Summary Judgment to remove the unverifiable voting machines throughout Georgia while the Defendants will argue to dismiss the suit. The arguments will take place at 9:00am in Fulton Co. Superior Court. Judge Johnson is the presiding judge. WE NEED YOU THERE. I am asking everyone who can make it to please come out and show that you support the lawsuit to restore the integrity of Georgia voting.
Please wear your VoterGa pins or other related badges of support. This is our chance to make an impression on the judge that we care. I would expect the oral arguments to run less than one hour.

The parsing is yet another reason that I am beyond irritated by her campaign. She's trying to exclude the caucus states, the "undeclared" votes in MI, and INCLUDE the votes in FL where Obama wasn't on the ballot.
Sorry Ms. Clinton: That's not how we pick a candidate in the Democratic party.

Nevada
North Dakota
Texas (Caucus only)
Washington

From the NYT:
So Now she is not only not counting the caucus states, it seems she is not counting the states BEFORE february 20th.
I feel disenfranchised. :sarcasm:
“I’ve been closing very strongly since Feb. 20,” she said, referring to the day after Mr. Obama won Hawaii and Wisconsin. “I have won more votes and won more states than Senator Obama. All the independent analyses break in my direction. A lot of the key states that we have to win, I win those states.”

if you want all votes to be counted, you need to remember that we have 50 states.

* Also note, Maryland's Al Wynn's resignation takes effect this weekend. That means technically the number drops to 2,117 for at least a couple of weeks until Donna Edwards likely fills his seat. We contacted the DNC to see if it would reduce their number. They are not, so we will keep the number at 2,118, which is what it will eventually be at convention. Donna Edwards is expected to be an Obama supporter, but until that is official, we are leaving her off Obama's list, as have others.

It's Pat! Welcome. 
I don't think all of the "democrats" were democrats, but I think some of them were the fringe crazy. They scare me, but I think the imposters, who were probably the more vocal and disruptive, did the most harm by making the party look pathetic and foolish. Mission accomplished, unfortunately.

No radio for me today.. I've been digging through my CD collection lately and even upgrading it a bit.
Got the new Rush CD "Snakes & Arrows".. excellent as always from these guys, plus I did detect a very distinct protest-theme to Neil Peart's lyrics.

It's not like Shaq helped the Heat get out of the cellar this season. I guess the only consolation was the Heat were the only team that could make the Knicks look good.
I have to laugh at the celebrities who pay small fortunes for those courtside seats at Madison Square Garden.

I have a question.. when they first announced that he had the tumor they mentioned that it was inoperable (and most likely terminal). Did they mention whether this surgery today was to try to remove it, or was it more exploratory to get a better understanding of how severe the tumor is?

Personaly my opinion is that elected people who are delegates ought to follow the will of their district. many people will disagree with me. As to the SD's that do not hold elected office, that choice is up to them.
We had an interesting thing happen here super tuesday, my representative, John Lewis originally endorsed HRC... after Super Tuesday, he switched his support. Fulton County, Georgia went very heavily towards Barack Obama.
I believe he was the first person to do so. HE said that he felt it was important for him to represent his constituency first. I was very glad he did that.

I believe that are trying to remove a portion of the tumour.
IT is inoperable, meaning thaty will not be able to remove the whole thing.
That has been my understanding. After this treatment I think he will begin to receive radiation.

I'm not saying I agree with it . . .
In reading between some of the lines, I'm still seeing the contention that she should be the winner and the nominee simply because she is a woman. Both she and her supporters are using the gender card both ways.

Randi just made a great point, regarding the people claiming sexism, and saying that they would rather vote for McCain...
McCain called his wife a c*nt. They would rather vote for that, and thus EXCUSE that then vote for Barack Obama?
That isn't exactly supporting feminism, is it? Not to mention, MCCain will take choice away... So yeah, I am more and more convinced that these people are NOT democrats.

not sure if everyone has been hearing the buzz today, but it does seem as tho Senator Clinton WILL be suspending her campaign tommorrow night.
I have been keeping my ears to the ground in many of my usual places... there are rumors that she has been placing calls to her superdelegates and informing them of the decision.
That, coupled with the published stories that she is letting go of some of her staff, and she is gathering her donors together in NYC... I think tomorrow may be a big day.

I'm still not calling a number because I am bad at those things. But I don't think we'll get more than a few after the ones already announced with everyone waiting until the results are in Tuesday before finally deciding to put their hats in the ring.
I wonder if Hillary is finally realizing that the writing is on the wall and that her campaign is pretty much finished. The only thing is that she might still start a floor debate over the rules but any further attempts by her to drag it out could very well shoot down her political career and maybe she finally realizes that.
But the Harriets and SMH's of the world will continue to drag it out and spew their bullshit.

ok. Regarding Montana: I am going with Obama, at a 15+ point difference.
I am thinking South Dakota will be far closer to a 50-50 split. I think Obama will win that state, tho. So I guess I am picking a 3-4 point split. I am tempted to go with 5-6... But I am sticking with 3-4 points.
My bet is placed.

I think she has seen the writing for a while.
What i am waiting to see, is how much she is askng for --- monetarily -- for people to ask her to leave. It is very important to remember that she has been in serious debt for a long time.
And, I think she wants a check. The math has not added up for a while. anyone with simple skills could have seen that. she is looking for some help to pay off those campaign debts.
It isn't like this is unheard of, you know. Chris Dodd sent me an email asking him to do the same...and I never dropped him a penny.

I wonder if Hillary is finally realizing that the writing is on the wall and that her campaign is pretty much finished. The only thing is that she might still start a floor debate over the rules but any further attempts by her to drag it out could very well shoot down her political career and maybe she finally realizes that.
But the Harriets and SMH's of the world will continue to drag it out and spew their bullshit.

For the Super delegations, are you wondering how many will declare on Tuesday itself or how many once the results are in?
As for the primaries, I am going a little conservative.
Montana: Obama 11-15
South Dakota: Obama 1-2
The only variable might be if Operation Chaos is at work (unless these are closed primaries).
And I will check some items before I make a guess about what Hillary will do. Hopefully, she will take the opportunity to gracefully bow out of the race.

Hmm... the SD's for tomorrow? daym, I made a bad bet today. eternal hopefulness, I suppose.
As far as tuesday, I suspect we will see 10 before the polls close. (over/under of 3 points)So you are making it rough on me.
Screw it, I am going with 7-10.
Did I make all bets?

that's 4.5 votes for Obama and 2 for Clinton

Along with two Edwards florida delegates have gone to Obama (equalling a vote) and Clyburn to declare tomorrow.

South Dakota Primary Fact Box:
Closed Primary for SD. 8% are Native Americans... This could be an interesting exit poll demographic.
I have actually heard rumours that SD may go blue.
in the GE.
I shit you not. The farm bill is a big indicator.
* Voting ends at 7 p.m. MDT/9 p.m. EDT, with results expected shortly after. The primary is closed -- registered Republicans and independents may not cast ballots in the Democratic contest. Obama, who won earlier contests in neighboring states, is expected to do well.
* Republican presidential candidates have carried South Dakota in every election since 1964, though Democrats are competitive in congressional elections.
* Farming and ranching loom large in this thinly settled state, but banking and small business have emerged as important economic sectors in recent decades, thanks to South Dakota's lack of corporate or personal income taxes. While rural areas empty out, suburban Lincoln County has recorded one of the nation's highest growth rates this decade.
* Native Americans, including the Lakota Sioux descendants of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, make up 8 percent of South Dakota's population, a higher percentage than any other U.S. state except New Mexico and Alaska.
I have actually heard rumours that SD may go blue.
in the GE. I shit you not. The farm bill is a big indicator.

A little info about Montana:
3 Things You Didn't Know About Montana Primaries and Elections
1. Since 2006, Montana has allowed residents to become permanent absentee voters by registering once. Before sending out ballots, the Montana elections office sends letters to absentee voters to verify their addresses.
2. In the past 40 years only one Democrat, Bill Clinton, has won the Montana presidential contest.
The total number of registered voters in Montana has almost tripled since the 1920 general election. In the 2004 general election there were 638,474 registered voters; only 261,257 were registered to vote in the general election of 1920. Over that same time span the percentage of registered voters who have cast ballots has fluctuated between 53 percent and 86.4 percent.
======================
Has anyone been paying to the people who have been moving to Montana?
They are not republicans. I can tell you that. They are boomers... Boomers who like to save the environment... aka, hippy dudes and dudettes.
Montana is becoming a Blue State.

The Western states have generally been red because they tend to be more in the Libertarian camp than the corporatist/Religious Conservative molds that are more common in the GOP which means a lot of them really hate Bush.

Great blog Raine- though very chilling- I keep thinking of when I got to see the "Tall Ships" sail down the Hudson River in 1976 - It was in honor of 1776 I believe.
Well we all sure won't be seeing these ships sailing down the Hudson being cheered on by hundreds of waving people. Unless I guess they have finally come to round everyone up.
I am glad it looks like Ted Kennedy has come through the surgery today. What a fighter.

When microwaving frozen hot dog rolls in the bag, don't forget to remove the twist-tie.
Also, molten hot dog roll bag plastic causes almost instantaneous second-degree burns.

Well, after I got the fire out, I was trying to save the rolls (which I did) and I got some plastic on me. I was actually quite fascinated by it, and fortunately only a step away from the sink and cold water, so I only had a miniscule spot that *actually* burned.

So far today Obama has 5.5 superdelegate votes to Clinton's 2.
Obama has a total of 7 endorsements today which equal 5.5 superdelegate votes.

And that was a second remake. It expanded more from the '33 version than did the '76 version which updated it to that time. Noting how the climax was at the World Trade Center instead of the Empire State Building.
Of course if the remake was updated to contemporary times they would have had to go back to the Empire State Building anyway.

I would like to leave you with a little info.
There are 226.5 total delegates left. (DemConWatch told me so) That includes pledged and supers.
If more than 30 SD announce tommorow, it is over. there will be no math that can make it happen. HRC needs 200.5 delegates (anyway she can get them) to take the lead....
At a certain point, it is safe to make asumptions.
