GENEVA (AP) — All senior U.S. officials and CIA agents who authorized and carried out torture like waterboarding as part of former President George W. Bush's national security policy must be prosecuted, top U.N. human rights officials said Wednesday.

The U.N. high commissioner for human rights, Zeid Raad al-Hussein, said it is "crystal clear" under international law that the United States, which ratified the U.N. Convention Against Torture in 1994, now has an obligation to ensure accountability.....

The UN has "experts"? At what? Raping children? We already knew that.

The Islamoterrorists can sleep well tonight knowing that Princess Di Swinestein has their backs.

long past time to pull OUT of the United Nazis Organization
(and turn that big NYC building into something useful for our country and our citizens)

an added advantage of doing this will be that thousands of enemy spies (attached to the UN) will have to leave our country

Zeid Raad al-Hussein

A raghead bringing up the Geneva Convention? Seriously? What a joke. You can't prosecute people for playing heavy metal and Barney the Dinosaur records? What a jerk.

The US taxpayer covers 25 percent of their payroll.
You’d think they’d be appreciative.

Some editor living in the city of Richmond approved pulled this article off the Times-Dispatch’s Associated Press wire feed, presumably read it, modified it little if any, and placed it onto his Richmond Times-Dispatch news pages without rewriting it, without ridiculing it, without scoffing, without writing a rebuttal, without accompanying it with facts and analysis of his own research.

These vermin news editors live in our own towns, and face no push back for running leftist, America-is-guilty, propaganda material straight off the wire feeds from the AP, the big three networks, and the other leftist, anti-American, anti-liberty, Jew-hating, anti-conservative, anti-Christian wire feeds.

The local participants in the MSM leftist propaganda stream shouldn’t be allowed to sit comfortably in their news rooms spitting out the AP’s venom.

Yes, of course.

Right after they bring Putin, Kim, Amahdinijad, Khomeini, and Al Baghdadi to trial.

Right?

Why did the US release this info.

Remember the film that falsely “started the Bengazi attack”? The US was ready to suppress the YouTube video. Why not our very own intelligence?

I know. I’m sure glad the grandkids have outgrown that. Visits were “torture”. Maybe there is something to that “torture” BS that Swinestein is spewing. LOL!
