War crimes conference in Andover this weekend

September 11, 2008 By ACLUm blog

Laura Rótolo, Attorney and Human Rights Fellow for the ACLU of Massachusetts, will take part in a conference this weekend called The Justice Robert Jackson Conference on the Planning for Prosecution of High Level American War Criminals.  Laura writes:

The past eight years of the Bush presidency have seen a remarkable shift in many aspects of our nation’s political strategies and adherence to established laws and principles.  Key among these is our government’s use of torture and kidnapping to apprehend and interrogate persons of interest all over the world.

For years, the ACLU has been at the forefront of efforts to hold our government accountable for these actions.  Which is why we are excited to be part of a conference taking place this weekend in Andover, Mass., that will look at different ways of bringing high level government officials to justice.  The conference is free to the public, and the information can be found at www.war-crimes.info. Hope to see you there!

    If he hadn’t given Cheney the twisted, amoral junk justifications that Cheney wanted, another jerk would probably have been summoned before the throne to take up the sordid task. Yoo was certainly a willing accomplice, nonetheless.

      They would be more than justified in letting him go- it’s been their choice to keep him on, which says something about them.

      The fact that these crimes are truly going on is part of why America’s moral standing in the world is going down the drain.

I certainly hope that newly seated Rep. Krassner can get the slime off of the seat that the whiny Republican left on it. Term limits, Lenny. Remember running on them? #mapoli? @massgop! #cya!

Former State Rep. Lenny Mirra @LennyMirra

There’s an irony to my time in the legislature formally ending…only to be followed by a vote on the House Rules.

I ran for office to oppose the smoke-filled rooms of Beacon Hill…all of which are sanctioned by House Rules. I Will always urge a ‘no’ vote on the rules package. https://twitter.com/adambassofmass/status/1620873312988725249

For starters, ixnay on the trendy PC term “Latinx” to describe these voters. Asked how they describe themselves,
46% chose Latino, 36% Hispanic. Just five percent in a poll with a +/-3.5% margin of error chose “Latinx.” @kelleratlarge
