If Gina Haspel, Trump's nominee to lead CIA, were subjected to the same standards that were applied by the Allies after WWII to those who tortured my father, she would now be languishing in prison...
By Ernest A. Canning on 4/2/2018 12:36pm PT  

Three years ago, in "Torture: A War Crime Then And Now", I described the legal principles that led to a conviction and life sentences of those who were responsible for my father's torture during WWII. I argued that, if applied now, the architects of the Bush/Cheney torture regime would be languishing in prison.

While it is troubling that none of those individuals were prosecuted for war crimes, it is beyond disturbing that President Donald J. Trump has seen fit to nominate Gina Haspel, the current Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, to be the CIA's next chief.

Given that Haspel not only oversaw torture at a CIA "black site" in Thailand but was also later involved in the destruction of videotaped evidence of CIA torture, such as the water-boarding of Abu Zubaydah 83 times in a single month, it seems appropriate to revisit several segments of that previous article, which had been initially published in response to a long, very well researched U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee report on U.S. torture...

Was That So Difficult?
By Brad Friedman on 12/2/2008 9:21am PT  

Take note, America. This is how it's done...

Court dissolves Thai government for election fraud

BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) - Thailand's Constitutional Court has dissolved two main parties in the ruling coalition and banned the prime minister along with top party executives from politics for five years.

The ruling sinks Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat's government, which has faced strident protests for months seeking its ouster.

The court ruled that Somchai's People's Power Party and the Machima Thipatai party were guilty of electoral fraud.

Somchai and dozens of party executive members also were found guilty and banned from politics for five years.

Tuesday's ruling raises hopes that thousands of anti-government protesters will end their siege of the country's two main airports.
Court President Chat Chalavorn says the ruling will "set a political standard."
