FBI files indict Bush and Cheney as war criminals - Pelosi does nothing

Here is horrifying quote from a German born man, recently released from Guantánamo after much pressure from the German government. Do you remember hearing the U.S. condemn Castro for torturing political prisoners a few decades ago? Do you remember being outraged? Do you know that the United States puts more of our citizens in prison per capita than any other nation on earth?

The quote:
"I did nothing wrong and I was treated like a monster,” he said. He told how he was subjected to electric shocks, being suspended by his wrists for hours and subjected to the ‘water treatment,’ in which his head was stuck into a bucket of water and he was punched in the stomach, forcing him to inhale the liquid. (The Justice Department Inspector General’s report, it bears noting, affirmed that this last form of torture did not constitute “waterboarding,” but did represent “an effort to intimidate the detainees and increase their feelings of helplessness.”) I know others have died from this kind of treatment. I suffered from sleep deprivation, solitary confinement, religious and sexual humiliations. I was beaten multiple times. There was no law in Guantánamo. I didn’t think this could happen in the 21st century.... I could never have imagined that this place was created by the United States.”

The World Socialist Movement has the following to say about Pelosi and her gang:
The Democratic leadership has no desire or intention to fight for such a reckoning. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other party leaders have repeatedly insisted that impeachment of the president and vice president is “off the table.” They have no interest in pursuing the administration on the issue of torture because they themselves are complicit, with Pelosi and other senior congressional Democrats having been briefed extensively on the criminal methods employed at Guantánamo, which they approved and concealed from the American people.

On a more fundamental level, the Democrats have been complicit in a policy of global militarism and aggression—carried out under the mantle of a “global war on terrorism”—which is directed at using armed force to further the interests of America’s ruling oligarchy. It is this criminal strategy—resulting in the loss of over 1 million Iraqi lives—that has given rise to the crime of torture itself.
