on are
business remarks he called me
whether she professor the thomas jefferson school of law
past present national lawyers gil author of several books including her newest
book
the united states and torture interrogation
parked the car solution envious
for website is marjorie any r_j_r_ i he collins seal each anna
dot com
and
you can check that out marjorie welcome to the prayer professor college he's
been welcome to the program
and i thank you karen
or one thousand
it has the rule of law concept becomes so great it degraded in the united
states that are citizens basically no longer understand i've heard no debate
on this topic
i think it has and you know it's interesting because
indictable either with yesterday's new york times rod
do pat unlit said in hindi percent and for those with icici
feed the daylight between the foreign policies of george w_ bush in the rock
obama had been shrinking everything the current president took the oath of
office
and i think that's correct
uh... man
and in some ways obama had gone even beyond the bush administration i mean
i'm confident that
that that the level of torture that with happening during the bush administration
on a daily basis if not continuing and that's because former u_n_ special
blackboard to refer torture
um... manfred now after that he was getting daily daily complaints about the
bush administration isn't getting it from obama although obama did turn over
as milling crowds in iraqi to the iraqi government knowing and we know that some
wiki leaks knowing that dead they weren't that they were torturing um...
and he has refused to bring people to justice for the torture rejeen from the
bush administration the bush officials and their and their legal mercenaries
but in addition
you've gone beyond that the bush administration inaugurating indefinite
detention which violate u_s_ in international law i think that he's
going to keep the people in guantanamo perhaps for the rest of their lives with
no charges
started
giving the order to assassinate not checked non-u_s_ two different which is
illegal on the under u_s_ in international law but also u_s_
elections going beyond what george w_ bush did
and
in fact five days after he executed at some of them live nor gave the order for
the execution of some of the leiden barackobama tried to take-out u_s_ to
defend and wire how long ke who had not been charged with any crime in the
united date and uh... the unmanned predator drone in yemen that wave
targeting allah la ke that killed two people quote believed to be al-qaeda
militants unquote so you have well bomber acting and judge jury and
executioner not
bringing people to justice
heath had he been yeah i think the justices been done when he announced on
sunday night said week ago that osama bin laden he'd kill had been killed
but he should know vat
i think the majestic did not allow executions
without trying to bring people to justice in terms of the court of law
with with do profited federer and uh... and ended his something that he didn't
you do with a fellow them alive but he's been doing
stepping up steve unmanned c_i_a_ drone attacks which have killed
according to the human rights commission of pakistan nine hundred and fifty seven
five billion skilled in twenty ten
drone attacks killed fifteen people in pakistan and wounded for two days before
the attack that with the pope to get out mara la ke and tend to march seventeenth
on journey defense march seventeenth at what was going to take a military
tactical forty-four people in pakistan and therefore more drone strike felt
hearing figured obama
not capturing people interrogating them the way bush david if taking them out
jeff executing sleeping soundly insists
star wars and and and curious wouldn't hit they have
it seems like a wouldn't have been a lot of trouble
to simply convene a trial
program jury someplace or trial or our readers you
you've been others but
and trying was summoned one in absentia
find him guilty of the crimes
and sends him to death
and then
though shooting than that
that you know that carol beck and one thing to keep in mind so while i was in
that day
well of at the end up back at it that that that could happen but what could
happen
but it didn't and a lot of people play well you know he was horrible public
enemy number one the worst terrorist in the world we're happy to get it quite
frankly between you and me tom
i'm not sorry defeat him yugo you know he was a horrible airline job imaginable
cases insists on that marjorie
pardoning was
general consensus on that they might i'm just suggesting
if we
if we want all of that you know after world war two
didn't even
to the best of my knowledge occurred
to the senior leadership in assisting harry truman
and uh... where was is vice president of the time in and arrest the
administration
and and for that matter the international community that the nazi
war criminals who had committed crimes
far worse than osama bin laden his wildest dreams for the thought of
that those people should simply be lined up and shot without a trial
we had
trials
and are we recommend contacting them
after the holocaust a leaders that after world war two and over the leadership of
the victoria patient back together
and winston churchill wanted to execute the nazi leaders without trial peek at
what should take about a backyard and shoot them
but the u_s_ government opponent the extreme judicial execution could not
keep yourself
who had committed genocide against millions of people and u_s_ supreme
court justice robert jackson took only from the supreme court and served as
chief u_s_ prosecutor at the nuremberg or crimes tribunal and he told time and
quote we could execute or otherwise punished cannot ping leaders without a
hearing but on discriminating executions or punishment without definite finding
him guilty
fairly arrived at would not fit easily on the american conscience or be
remembered by children with pride and he talked about it if passing a point in
chalice to future generations and source going we have less than a marjorie what
what should we do
what we should do is follow the rule of law and that means patrick wednet
various dispassionate somebody and they invade character want to do harm to the
united state rectum
bring into trial and the thing with the people at guantanamo bring them to trial
or relief and don't keep them the rest of their lives don't allow this to be a
political football with the congress baroness in lowell also carolyn
essential you know i'm clandestine these days is necessary sis's houses
that that shouldn't be the reason i have a trial after only nine and and in fact
it seems to me also that the solution of respect for the
rules laws whether banks has gotten away with with the government that's a
conversation for all the time professor marjorie cohn you can read all about her
work over marjorie cohn dot com for most recent book the united states and
tortured thank you
