Exec Director of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth on the CIA's Medieval Torture Methods
on Bush Era Torture and CIA Denials --
HRW director Kenneth Roth says President Obama Can Use Last 2 Years to Prosecute Bush et al.
December 9, 2014
“The Senate report summary should forever put to rest CIA denials that it engaged in torture, which is criminal and can never be justified,” said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. “The report shows the repeated claims that harsh measures were needed to protect Americans are utter fiction.”
Unless this important truth-telling process leads to prosecution of officials, torture will remain a ‘policy option’ for future presidents.
