US Torture of prisoners - why won't Obama act?
Experiments in Torture is the first report to reveal evidence indicating that CIA medical personnel allegedly engaged in the crime of illegal experimentation after 9/11, in addition to the previously disclosed crime of torture. In their attempt to justify the war crime of torture, the CIA appears to have committed another alleged war crime—illegal experimentation on prisoners.
Report here. A little qualified detailed comment here.
IMO: One had hoped that the Obama government would have done more to deal with these matters, but the unfortunate tendency seems to be to go for votes and hide unfortunate facts, which were anyway often permitted to happen by an earlier regime.
