U.S. has become haven for war criminals, senator says

WASHINGTON — More than 1,000 people from 85 countries who are accused of such crimes as rape, killings, torture and genocide are living in the United States , according to Department of Homeland Security figures.

America has become a haven for the world’s war criminals because it lacks the laws needed to prosecute them, Sen. Richard Durbin , D-Ill., said Wednesday. There’s been only one U.S. indictment of someone suspected of a serious human-rights abuse. Durbin said torture was the only serious human-rights violation that was a crime under American law when committed outside the United States by a non-American national.

“This is unacceptable. Our laws must change and our determination to end this shameful situation must become a priority,” Durbin, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law, said at a hearing of the subcommittee Wednesday.

Thanks Davey. I remember when Carter was voted out of office and the Reagan administration started to rebuild the spy network that it vastly lost in the late 1970's. Again, Bush probably had to rebuild the spy network after Clinton left office. Twenty-five percent of the staff was cut...and the Clintons were not interested in intelligence (and I'm paraphrasing), doesn't surprise me one bit. I think that when you have a democrat in office...these type of vital programs are going to be cut and basically, that's why we had 9/11.
