UPDATED: American Torturers Can Be Prosecuted Abroad Including By International Criminal Court Analysts Agree While DOJ Refuses To Prosecute

       19 January 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - In Memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. on this day devoted to his remembrance. This post has been substantially updated with the following:

16 May 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - [ REPUBLICATION UPDATE] Not-really-elected Bush-Cheney administration and top C.I..A.officials along with C.I.A. torturers exposed in the U.S. Senate Torture Report in December 2014 committing war crimes against humanity have faced no known domestic prosecutions whatsoever for these actions as of 16 May 2015 a full five months after the Senate Torture Report summary's release.
     This absolute lack of criminal prosecution is consistent with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) legally, morally and ethically untenable stated position (not legally binding) that it will not prosecute American torturers at its discretion based on what are known to be totally bogus crank legal justifications with DOJ therefore selectively enforcing U.S. laws even while intentionally ignoring what may well include grave capital offenses subject to no statute of limitations. Readers interested in more information on this can go to the the first link below to an article from earlier this year.
     Analysts however remain in agreement that even given and regardless of the Barack Obama administration's expressed unwillingness to enforce enormously significant U.S. laws against heinous crimes against humanity including those applicable under international signatory treaties that the American torturers known at the least directly to encompass Bush-Cheney administration and then top CIA officials as well as those under their command and responsibility directly committing torturous war crimes against humanity all for the remainder of their lives still also can be prosecuted in various international forums including but not limited to the International Criminal Court.  Readers interested in more information on this can go to the second link below to another article from the New York Times published earlier this year.
