GUANTÁNAMO BAY, Cuba — On the witness stand was James E. Mitchell, a psychologist and architect of the Bush-era interrogation program that had inflicted torture on prisoners held in secret C.I.A. prisons after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Defiantly, he described how the program came about and why in his view it was necessary, growing emotional only when recounting how he came to the conclusion that it was his patriotic duty to personally implement the techniques he had devised.

Sitting yards from him in the military courtroom built specifically for their death-penalty trial were the five men accused of helping plot the attacks. All of them had been subject to the methods developed by Dr. Mitchell. Their alleged leader, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, was waterboarded 183 times in March 2003 by a team including Dr. Mitchell. They sat impassively as he testified at a pretrial hearing in their case.

It was an extraordinary moment in the slow-moving justice system set up to try foreign prisoners of the war on terror, with American lawyers for defendants who were tortured more than a decade and a half ago flipping the script to question an interrogator from the so-called black sites.

Dr. Mitchell, a former contract psychologist for the C.I.A., expressed no regrets or contrition, tearfully saying he did it for the American people at a time when President George W. Bush’s administration feared a follow-on attack by airplane or nuclear bomb to the Sept. 11 hijackings that killed 2,976 people.

“I’d get up today and do it again,” he said.

“I thought my moral duty,” he said, choking up, “to protect American lives outweighed the feelings of discomfort of terrorists who voluntarily took up arms against us. To me it just seemed like it would be dereliction of my moral responsibilities.”

He was talking about the first man he waterboarded, a Palestinian known as Abu Zubaydah. In 2002, Mr. Zubaydah was the first known C.I.A. prisoner subjected to the full range of interrogation techniques, which also included sleep deprivation and being crammed inside a coffin-size box and slammed into a wall. He has never been charged with a crime and has never been to the war court but is held at Guantánamo as an indefinite detainee.

But the five men charged as conspirators in the Sept. 11 attacks were present. It was the first time they had seen Dr. Mitchell since their transfer to Guantánamo from the black sites in 2007. Lawyers for Mr. Mohammed and another defendant, Walid bin Attash, asked the judge to clear two thick binders of materials off the witness stand that had obstructed their view of him.

None of the defendants expressed any visible emotion, although defense lawyers had a psychologist and a psychiatrist with experience treating torture survivors in court to sit with two of them.

Lawyers for Mr. Mohammed’s nephew, Ammar al-Baluchi, called Dr. Mitchell to testify in a long-running defense effort to show the interrogation program was a Bush administration-wide effort and persuade the judge to exclude subsequent F.B.I. interrogations of the defendants at Guantánamo in 2007 from their trial. It is scheduled to get underway next January.

By law, prosecutors cannot use what the men told Dr. Mitchell and other interrogators in the C.I.A. prison as evidence in the death-penalty trial. Prosecutors consider the F.B.I. interrogations to be crucial case evidence.

Dr. Mitchell described the decision to use waterboarding and other “coercive physical pressure” as born of a climate that feared Al Qaeda was plotting a nuclear attack on the United States, or plotting to crash another plane somewhere, “and the gloves were off.” Until that point, C.I.A. and F.B.I. agents were taking turns interrogating Mr. Zubaydah, who had stopped cooperating, in a secret prison that has since been revealed to have been in Thailand.

“C.I.A. was never interested in prosecutions,” Dr. Mitchell said. “The C.I.A. was not going to let them set off another catastrophic attack in the United States. They were going to go right up to the line of what was legal, put their toes on it and lean forward.”

Dr. Mitchell opened what is expected to be two weeks of testimony by telling defense lawyers that the only reason he had come to Guantánamo was to testify in person in front of families of the Sept. 11 victims.

“You folks have been saying untrue and malicious things about me and Dr. Jessen for years,” Dr. Mitchell said, referring to John Bruce Jessen, another psychologist who worked with him to devise the interrogation system. They went on to set up a business that provided guards and interrogators to work at the secret overseas prisons set up after the 2001 attacks and the subsequent invasion of Afghanistan. They received $81 million for the contract.

Had Dr. Mitchell refused to come, the Air Force colonel presiding in the case could have ordered him to testify by video teleconference from Washington.

“I actually did it for the victims and families. Not you,” Dr. Mitchell said under questioning by James G. Connell III, a lawyer for Mr. al-Baluchi. About 12 relatives of victims and their companions were observing the hearing, one wearing a necktie with the Statue of Liberty on it.

They were sequestered behind a blue curtain in the spectator’s gallery of the court, hidden from the troops, journalists, legal observers and court staff also watching what is expected to be the most dramatic testimony so far since arraignment of the five men in the case in May 2012.

Dr. Mitchell, with a full snow-white beard and thinning white hair, wore a charcoal suit to court with a crisp white button-down shirt and a red tie. Mr. Mohammed was in his typical court attire: a green camouflage hunting jacket atop white flowing clothes, a black and silver scarf fashioned into a turban and black orthopedic shoes.

Dr. Mitchell adopted an aggressive approach as a witness. After a prosecutor provided him with a top secret guide to the codes the United States government had assigned to interrogators whose names cannot be used in court, he declared the list flawed. He said it gave a “false and misleading impression that these men were interrogated during their entire time in custody. And they were not.”

He said some of the code-named people identified as interrogators were actually “debriefers, targeters and analysts.”

Drs. Mitchell and Jessen were called to testify by lawyers for Mr. al-Baluchi. But all five defense teams are expected to question them about what went on in the clandestine overseas prisons, including one in Thailand that for a time was run by Gina Haspel, now the C.I.A. director. . . .

NEW UPDATE Senate Torture Report Outrage Feds Illegally Bury 6,700 Pages Unread As DOJ Flunky Sheep Hacks Dutifully Cite Bogus FOIA Issue Prevent Even Top Officials Reading Report Of Atrocities - National Archivist Chokes On Sham DOJ Specious Non-Issue Is Torture Report A "Federal Record" As New Republican Senate Intelligence Chair Burr Demands Return All Existing Torture Report Copies Vows To Toss All Unread In "Wastebin Of History" - Unable To "Pry" Herself "From DOJ's Grip" Obama Pardon Attorney Abruptly Resigns - NEW UPDATE: 2017 Released Documents CIA Brutal Thai Black Site Torture With Disorientation Drugs As Judge Royce C. Lamberth Demands 2014 Senate Torture Report Be Produced To Federal D.C. District Court For Preservation

     Wednesday, 27 January 2016, WASHINGTON, DC - One reasonably at this late date might not only increasingly wonder but moreover have steadily growing strong concerns as to why the vast majority of Americans, since the December 2014 release of the executive summary of the Senate Torture Report, long revered as a courageous tough heroic and principled People demonstrating their valor time and again even to the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the greatest nation on earth the United States in its uncompromising principles of a just humanity unflinchingly prepared to prove itself when necessary by decisive action in its role as a bedrock foundation of moral authority to the world, yet now continue to sit back complacent virtually silent seemingly uninterested or even oblivious after well over a  year has passed since December 2014.
      Since then the American people as well as the citizens of the world have heard and seen no substantive U.S. government response whatsoever to the nearly 7,000 page December 2014 Senate Torture Report extensively documenting the totally ineffective, deeply sick, inhuman, barbaric, grotesque, deranged, bloodthirsty, psychotic, demented, psychopathic, depraved, sociopathic, monstrous, mengellian, sadistic, horrific, criminally insane CIA Torture Program carried out by morally bankrupt CIA criminal employees and later unsupervised maniac "torture contractors" under orders of equally guilty morally bankrupt and conspiring criminal Bush/Cheney Administration and CIA and DIA officials as well as DOJ officials in brazen violation of U.S. and international laws, treaties and conventions for any and all crimes above committed also including conspiracy, accessories before and after the fact, obstruction of justice, RICO "Kingpins", felony murder for the death of a "detainee" chained naked to a freezing cold floor overnight and doubtless many others for which there is clear irrefutable evidence to support DOJ and other prosecuting authorities.

     For those readers interested the United States government bureaucratic stonewalling distorting delaying denying diverting misinformation disinformation runaround shuffle apparently is in full swing hoping to waste so much time procrastinating by means of endless Kafkaesque contrived bureaucratic especially hack DOJ lawyer created bogus semantic complications that no one will care anymore to read or act on the Torture Report's findings as everyone will have died of old age. Presently single disk copies of the entire Report are at least the Ninth Amendment understands to be in the safes of the Senate Office Building (with the Panetta Report) as well as those safes of DOJ, DOD, CIA, FBI, and the State Department with DOJ having forbidden anyone even senior officials including at DOJ to read it. Thus to date absolutely no value at all permitted perhaps the most valuable painstaking exhaustive report of all time just for starters for IC executive review and improvement of clearly badly ailing and backfiring intelligence tactics and operations.

     For those readers still with us and interested the most recent limited Senate CIA torture program report public information facts identified by the Ninth Amendment are concisely and clearly detailed in the National Security Archive link below. Finally to our outrage and disgust DOJ reportedly has ordered held tight eyes unseen the major evidence of United States torture crimes against humanity a gift to officials of almost 7,000 pages possibly never to be read direct from DOJ's endless maze of contrived interminable illegal bureaucratic limbo shuffle grasping at any imagined specious legal basis or better yet just from thin air its next new latest devised legal privilege, analysis or justification.

     Had the Nazis won World War II one could have expected a similar silence concerning the millions upon millions of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and other "inferior races" who were victims of the holocaust as well of course of the lack of any punishment and probably congratulations to the very many domestically who were responsible daily for carrying out the evil deeds therefore leaving them programmed to repeat as necessary. 

     The Ninth Amendment adamantly maintains that already the State has let too much time pass sending the world the very wrong message that the United States alone can and will do whatever the hell it wants whether globally kidnapping and brutally torturing other nations' citizens or holding humans indefinitely uncharged, untried and unconvicted. And as for those responsible for these atrocities breaking U.S. and International laws, treaties and conventions if unpunished their actions remain in the name of all U.S. citizens, but unsurprisingly no one could have captured the need more directly for dealing with the torturers under the appropriate judicial system as Dick Cheney when asked about the just-released Senate Torture Report. "Aw, phooey, I'd do it again in a minute."

     Well we are sorry to report that our copy of the disk we got in a trade with a Senate staffer just met on the Metro (still being followed by CIA convinced he stole the Panetta Report that the CIA obviously gave away by accident) which disk would already be in the hands of and problem of the New York Times but for one complication. Unfortunately through a strange and unlikely unusual series of events the Senate Torture Report disk fell into the hands of a careless "friend" who thinks Bill Clinton is still President and pretty much has lost everything since then including the new "dynamics" of the present century such as the significance of the disk. Anyway he copied it over with Black Sabbath's Paranoid. At least it was newly remastered and high definition. . . . 

     Just to be perfectly clear the preceding paragraph is fictitious humor parody and satire. It is not true nor purporting to be true. It does however suggest the intriguing question of who out there has an unknown copy of the Senate Torture Report disk. In this modern technological world reason always dictates that someone was careless or acted intentionally somewhere along the way causing a slip-up. Clearly the federal government cannot bury the Senate Torture Report forever, even if "found" to fall under FOIA or the shocking conclusion is reached that it is not a "Federal Record". Moreover, the new Republican Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee Richard M. Burr has demanded every copy of the disk back from the Obama administration so he can throw them away "as a footnote in the wastebasket of history". 

     Could not either a FOIA exemption or just a big "TOP SECRET" stamp attempt to bury it from the American people for a long time to come as suggested in the below link? If so is this the kind of document that should be submitted covertly to the New York Times for daily publication like The Pentagon Papers? The Times presumably can afford another trip up to the Supreme Court for prior restraint, but how are the chances with this Court compared with the one formerly faced in the above case?

     The Ninth Amendment absolutely does not intend nor is the above any sort of legal advice whatsoever nor is any provided here in any way whatsoever nor does it purport to be. Persons seeking legal advice always must consult with a duly licensed legal practitioner in good standing which the Ninth Amendment in no way holds itself out to be in any way whatsoever. Finally the following question remains open: Given the deranged evil horrors perpetrated under the Bush administration shared with the public just in the executive summary of the Senate Torture Report and the 500 page summary what in the world could be hidden from the American people in the remaining 6,500 pages?

     UPDATE: The New York Times 19 January 2017 (the final day of the Obama administration) article added as a new second link below reports that the C.I.A. just has released more never before publicly seen documents provided to that newspaper and the Washington Post particularly concerning some of the earliest harshest use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" (torture) being mischaracterized as less harsh than they actually were by on-site C.I.A. torturers including at a black site in Thailand, as well as serious evidence raised about the sheer incompetence of C.I.A. personnel in the misapplication of totally unsuccessful bogus brutal torture techniques perpetrated on humans designed at a cost to the C.I.A. of over $80 million by ethically bankrupt hack "torture psychologists" James Mitchell and J. Bruce Jessen.
     The newly released documents also publicly reveal information about the use of drug torture including for "disorientation" of those kidnapped and tortured by the C.I.A. (previously falsely denied unsurprisingly for the past 15 years by the lying C.I.A. per its routine practice of lying to the public and those attempting to oversee it), as well as other newly released information about the massively inhumane worthless torture travesty perpetrated by the C.I.A. in the wake of its failure to prevent the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks for which attacks the C.I.A.'s own Inspector General since has found the agency specifically to be the responsible U.S. government party due to its dismal total lapse in foreseeing and preventing the attacks because of the agency's deeply entrenched culture of waste, fraud and abuse and completely misguided use of huge amounts of taxpayer provided resources not otherwise just completely squandered.
     Judge Royce C. Lamberth of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has ordered that a copy of the 2014 Senate Torture Report be turned over to the Court for safekeeping amid concerns that the incoming Trump administration will try along with Senate Intelligence Committee Republican Chairman Burr to recall and destroy unread all full copies of that report with Judge Lamberth harshly rejecting objections by the Obama administration that President Obama has already assured its preservation by including one copy in President Obama's National Archive submissions for his Presidential library with the Court insisting that a full copy be produced to the Court for safekeeping.

Obama Refusal To Prosecute Torturers "Increasingly Indefensible" New York Times Entire Editorial Board Rebukes As American Psychological Association (APA) Finds APA Colluded Both With Bush CIA And DOD War Crimes Against Humanity "One Of Greatest Scandals In U.S. Medical History" As Physicians For Human Rights And Amnesty International Seek D.O.J. Inquiry UPDATE 4

"The Obama Administration has so far refused to prosecute the torturers. As more evidence about this program comes to light, that position becomes increasingly indefensible."

        The New York Times entire editorial board conclusion first published 10 July 2015                                                                

     Wednesday, 2 December 2015, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Due we maintain to the absolute necessity that we the People fearlessly must stay the course of righteousness without undue concern even in these times of apparent fearsome global challenges now as much as ever essential to the unwavering survival of these great United States of America as the sacred and enduring champion without compromise ever of essential liberty and justice standing only for all that is good and right born of trust and gratitude for the ultimate security granted this Nation under the protective eye of Providence with an enduring faith of the ultimate and uncompromising importance of the present and future enduring health, strength, common welfare and prosperity, as well as to the certain and absolute necessity to the moral imperative, vigorous integrity, common defense and robust survival of this Nation as ordained and established by the Constitution by the People of the United States for themselves and their posterity The Ninth Amendment editorial board begs the indulgence of as many readers as possibly may either first now have occasion to read and/or who already may have read this now numbered "Update 3" of the otherwise exact same post published verbatim earlier this year headed "Update 2" in The Ninth Amendment that those People of conscience who are the true patriots who love this country and all for which it stands without needing to shout or even speak it must continue to stand strong regardless of any past or present positions of those committing criminal actions against humanity in the name of the State or ever must join an honorable and ceaselessly persistent press in insisting and letting no person forget nor diminish the truth of the barbarity of the war crimes against humanity wrongfully perpetrated in the name of the State and that the persons proven to have committed unconscionable acts of torture must be held fully accountable and punished under all applicable domestic and international law and treaties or their shameful and barbaric actions unpunished must inevitably render illegitimate any State claim to power and destroy these United States of America as established under the United States Constitution with all the power of this Great Nation reverting back to the People alone.   

     Absent here in the United States now is a government any longer meaningfully policing itself with no justification possible for failing to uphold the Constitution it is sworn to uphold but rather having lost all legitimacy which can emanate only from the People by protecting its own arrogant interests above the law and holding its own perpetual illegitimate self-preservation most dear.  So has come to be the case with the Obama Administration's refusal "to prosecute the torturers" detailed in the post below despite the passage now of over one full year since the December 2014 preliminary release of the painstaking documentation the Senate Torture committee staff compiled in its investigation report totaling something over 6,000 pages of evidence most of which is still withheld presumably because it describes acts of a government too horrific for the People the nation and the world even to read. The "Senate Torture Report" plainly states for those just taking the time to read its executive summary that it concluded unequivocally that the "torturers and their bosses" in the Bush/Cheney senior administration and their CIA counterparts are liable for prosecution for war crimes against humanity both under United States statutes and signatory treaties of the United Nations Convention Against Torture in the International Criminal Court for which there is no statute of limitations also subject to prosecution under certain articles of the Geneva Conventions as well as laws of some individual countries including those whose citizens were kidnapped and tortured by the CIA 

     This brings us to The Ninth Amendment's previously published post re-published below. The present editorial subject of this post is believed to be the second editorial of the entire editorial board of the New York Times with the first originally published 14 December 2014 calling for the prosecution of 9/11 torturers and their bosses. The Obama administration clearly completely has ignored this first call to prosecute as to date none of the torturers nor their bosses have been prosecuted for torture at all just as if it never happened. Except it did. If not brought before justice what is to keep the same from happening again? Or is that the justice reserved only for the party that loses? For readers interested in this first New York Times call for prosecution of 9/11 torturers and their bosses these readers can go to the first link (1) below.
     The occasion for this new call to justice for 9/11 torturers is that an independent report commissioned by the American Psychological Association (APA) unsurprisingly just has concluded as has been addressed in previous Ninth Amendment posts with solid confirmation that the despicable untrained unqualified criminally insane totally corrupt greedsick brutally heartless sadistic "Torture Psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell contracted with the CIA for the obscene amount of $80+ million by Jim Cotsana chief of special missions in the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center in order for the CIA to attempt to purchase some imagined degree of medical respectability as the CIA's two now notorious infamous totally unqualified sociopath psychopathic "Torture Psychologists" this same James Mitchell and Bruce Jessen remain in the spotlight of despicable shame for their creation of the completely uninformed, incompetent, useless, inhumane, brutal, barbaric, sadistic and criminally depraved experiments on living human beings totally at odds with and disgracing long-held American ideals of honor, integrity and respect for human decency completely absent from the CIA's "Torture Program" now also confirmed as further eagerly facilitated by the career sycophants of the American Psychological Association (APA) executive board of directors and other major figures who bent APA ethics prohibitions against "torture" to accord instead to totally dishonest lying definitions of "interrogation" through a web of undisclosed connections in hopes of some pathetic infamy and apparent glorious shared criminal liability being stealth collaborators with the CIA and especially DOD in supposedly conforming DOD interrogation (torture) guidelines so as completely to sell out themselves and all APA leadership to provide some grotesquely convoluted "medical justification" for "one of the greatest medical scandals in U.S. history" merely in order to lick up the spilled drippings from the DOD pig trough have been utterly despicable and corrupt serving the needs of the now exposed Bush Torture Program.
     The needlessly sadistic torture techniques of the CIA (keeping in stress positions for prolonged periods, slamming "detainees" against walls, waterboarding, rectal hydration, rectal feeding, mock execution, sleep deprivation, music torture, ceiling hanging, murdering by chaining to frozen cement floors -- punishable as murder for all involved as conspirators or in any capacity or with any degree of knowledge -- and whatever else intentionally under supervised sick and demented employee and contract torturers might at their depraved whim perpetrate to cause degradation, pain and suffering, comprising torture and moreover although it justifies none of the torture also with all sadistic measures incidentally produced no reliable information of value making the entire CIA Torture Program useless) and DOD which have been reported about here in earlier posts now also in the 500 page official APA independent report apparently commissioned by the APA hoping to deflect such charges rather than substantiate and expand upon them.
     The APA independent report instead has served to confirm and condemn all of the APA's participation in the self-serving justification of torture which at long last finally has been undeniably exposed as joined by the APA and created by the "Torture Psychologists" in the course of continuing revolting, inhumane and actionable revelations about the degree of complicity with the CIA Torture Program which the CIA repeatedly right up until recent months has continued to try to cover up given any possible opportunity.
     The Report further relates APA total complicity with DOD torture highlighted to the extent that the "Establishment" has communicated loud and clear to the torturers purporting to act in the name and long heritage of honor of the United States that their atrocities no longer can be ignored by the Obama administration in continuing in its unpardonable failure to bring charges against those responsible for the CIA Torture Program and any related DOD torture activities in contravention of among other things the U.N. Convention Against Torture in the increasingly shamefully discredited name of the United States the responsibility for which outrage rests almost entirely with the CIA as well as the DOD in losing the long hard-earned confidence of its own People and those of the world community with the CIA in fact in some official circles such as by Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) increasingly known as creating "the best recruiting posters for terrorists in the world" one being Guantanamo Bay the place that has become the symbol to all the world of the moral decay of the decency, integrity and honor of this nation which in the wake of WWII long had been revered around the world.
     The day of reckoning inexorably approaches with a world offering no place for those to hide implicated in the Bush Administration from Bush, Cheney and Rice and on down every step of way with CIA officials and criminally insane "Torture Psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell hired by Jim Costsana the chief of special missions in the CIA's later forever murderously tainted Counter-Terrorism Center (former home of the now bureaucratically secretly repositioned "signature strike" drone mass murderer "Mike" aka "Roger" aka "the Wolf") and those who actually carried out torture under those officials as well as in rogue elements of the DOD now being further drawn into the shadow of the prosecution by the United States Attorney General for a multitude of crimes charged in the United Nations in the International Criminal Court for crimes including war crimes against humanity as well as for torture including of their citizens by foreign governments.
     The Obama administration in its shameful complete inaction as to prosecuting the torturers no longer can ignore the grim reality that that there is no excusable choice but to prosecute those whose treatment as if the U.S. torture atrocities never took place would fundamentally discredit and diminish the U.S. before the world community not to mention the need to put these criminals away so they do not torture again as exemplified by the ever-eager "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney who said given the chance he would "do it again" without regard for the continuing revelations of the December 2014 disclosure of the Senate Torture Report Summary (5,500 pages still viewed by the State apparently as too gruesome and sensitive to be released to the American public and the world's eyes) and now the parallel newly released APA report condemning the medical community for its participation in torture.
     The CIA Torture Program and related DOD programs often denying persons basic human rights long heralded by the United States are undoing over two hundred years of honorable national conduct of millions of proud American leaders and ordinary people who set an enduring model for the world which must not be undone by the incredibly vicious Un-American lapses to no apparent purpose of a relatively few seriously grossly misguided persons of whatever level, rank, or title who now do all in their power to hide the extent of their atrocities and rely on any diversion including manufactured public fear and American values they do not share either in conduct nor acceptance of responsibility but instead would rather befoul the reputation of the entire United States with them before the world's eyes. It has been suggested in certain circles that the appropriate location for their trials which the world demanded to see like Nuremberg in WWII would be at Guantanamo Bay where at least a significant number of the torturer atrocities took place.
     Readers interested in more information about the newly released APA torture report prepared by independent unbiased outside counsel of the highest tier at the venerable Sidley + Austin law firm the conclusions of which spurred Physicians for Human Rights to call for those involved in "one of the greatest medical scandals in United States history" to be referred to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a criminal investigation can go to the second(2) and third (3)  links below.
     [UPDATE] Similarly the Amnesty International USA release responding to the conclusions of the APA report makes clear its position that criminal liability for torture determined upon investigation is inclusive of every level of perpetrator because "all those who planned, conspired in, committed and authorized torture must be held accountable. The report is a powerful reminder that the Justice Department has never brought criminal charges against anyone for torture that was systematic, calculated and unlawful from the beginning," For the full text of the release interested readers can go to the fourth (4) link below. Those readers interested in the New York Times entire editorial board full statement that the Obama administration failure so far to prosecute is "increasingly indefensible" can go to the fifth (5) final link below. 
     Potentially noteworthy to our readers not previously so informed, suspecting or having already themselves concluded even while the Ninth Amendment for now suspends its own final determination as to The New York Times is the fact of the Times front page apparent sincere increasingly emphatic conclusion that the call for justice now reaches as high as the examination of the most important standards of acceptable human conduct in a civilized society extending beyond the State's and its torturers' foul actions against humanity but even now conclusively documented and determined to have tainted indeed fully encompassed the actions not only of current practitioners of but those directly responsible for establishing,  maintaining and governing current and presently evolving ethical and moral standards of the medical profession grossly violated here demands that both they and the "torturers and their bosses" should be prosecuted might be given special weight by our readers in consideration of the fact that the call for prosecution comes from The New York Times.
     The Ninth Amendment  increasingly maintains that many members of the "Establishment" despite its necessary and not infrequent staged griping for credibility's sake including even by some of those both with and formerly with the New York Times in management and reporting and editing capacities have come to recognize with some regularity that if not discredited the at least questionable accuracy of this generally recognized "paper of record" not only in its first often "publicly defining"  initial presentation of but then overlong persistence in repetitively regurgitating too often doubtful "official" first accounts which it not only endorsed but may even have used the not inconsiderable weight of its widely assumed basic integrity to introduce of many significant events even using at times its ready ability with many skilfully to effectively (meaning without seeming to) personally discredit those who would raise valid concerns about its reporting at least for as long as feasible under the doctrine of "plausible deniability" thereby producing its final time-honored well practiced public product of "All the News that's fit to print" which some maintain more truthfully to be "All the news that suits the powerful to print". 
     Here in any case whichever characterization of the Times presentation of the news and opinion of the Nation one may find to be more accurate one need not make that determination as a predicate to seeing that the moral weight of this Nation including those at its highest echelons as well as the world community have become only more determined entrenched in the position that the time for the prosecution of the torturers and bosses as well now all have learned as their complicit "medical professionals" is long overdue with no further reason for delay especially given there has been none at least from the time of the December 2014 public release of just portions of the Senate Torture Report which themselves were indisputably incriminating and conclusive as to the commission of acts of torture which demand justice under U.S. and international law even with the additional 6,000 pages of documents evidencing the acts to date having been held back from the public as too inflammatory.

EO 13526 1.1(b): Drone Kill List Obama-Jarrett Mass Murders "Transparent" Obama Obstructs DOJ Torture Prosecution Of Bush-Cheney WH, CIA Officials And Torturers, CIA Senate Obstruction And CIA Withheld Evidence Photos Of Entire CIA Torture Black Sites Delayed Military Prosecutors Find Of Massive Cache Confirms CIA, Foreign Officials, CIA "Torture Psychologists" On-Site Culpability, CIA Torture Devices, CIA Crimes Against Humanity And War Crimes, CIA Kept From Defense Attorneys, Congress, U.S. People Yet Obama Blocks All Bush-Cheney WH And CIA Torturer Prosecutions - UPDATE 4: NEW LINKS BELOW CONFIRM GENEVA CONVENTION DRONE GENOCIDE VIOLATIONS OBAMA - JARRETT U.S. DRONE "KILL LISTS" AND NEWLY DOCUMENTED CIA - PENTAGON INNOCENT CIVILIAN MASS MURDERS

     Sunday, 28 June 2015, WASHINGTON - The criminally conspiring endemically corrupt pathological habitually obfuscating murderously inclined to extreme violence against humanity remain unprosecuted as of November 2016 almost two years after the December 2014 public disclosure of the unambiguous conclusion that those identified in the Bush-Cheney administration and CIA as well as those conspiring to and acting with and for them as a matter of routine practice engaged in the commission of crimes against humanity and war crimes thoroughly documented in the U.S. Senate Torture Report executive summary and five hundred plus page brief introductory section (suggesting just how much more extensive their horrific and repulsive acts actually were as the vast majority of thousands of pages of the U.S. Senate Torture Report still have never been released presumably as too inflammatory to the American and world public).
     Nevertheless indefensibly lacking any straightforward coherent (as opposed to any obviously contrived convoluted facially totally illegitimate "secret" Bush-Cheney) legally compelling reason nor even any articulated nor attempted justification legal or otherwise even as the evidence as here inexorably has mounted nearly continuously ever further against those guilty of torture President Barack ("Torturer Shield") Obama inexcusably continues to block for reasons seeming entirely obscure from immediate United States Department of Justice prosecution (certainly not for lack of evidence) or the lawful extradition and delivery to the International Criminal Court of the torturers whose prosecutions face no statute of limitations therefore can be prosecuted for the rest of their lives.
     Perhaps Obama is prevented from acting either by fear of inquiry into his own prosecution for genocide by drone strike murders which appears not altogether improbable given Obama's ongoing erratic attempts at uncharacteristically publicly carefully obscuring and providing almost no clear information of his own and the U.S. government's obvious extensive knowledge and therefore not unlikely guilt and/or Obama protects torturers due to plausible direct explicit threats against Obama by others should he allow prosecution of torturers then to disclose much more detailed known information that Obama seeks indefinitely to avoid by his carefully crafted yet strangely and unbelievably muddled lack of coherent public remarks on his obvious ultimate responsibility for intentionally obfuscated numbers and locations of acts of civilian mass murder by Obama-authorized drone strike murders which may well total significant civilian mass murders in some areas of the world suggesting Obama's own culpability for untold numbers of atrocities of genocide by drone strike kills resulting in the mass murder of innocent civilians of various ethnicities and nations.
     How can the U.S. government at this time when the already legitimately adjudicated unconstitutional and illegal NSA criminal creeps' surveillance unlawfully continuing to invade every imaginable aspect of Americans' and world citizens' privacy nevertheless expect Americans or anyone else in the world to believe the NSA criminal creeps and their similarly culpable cohorts at home and abroad cannot count the dead bodies of those the U.S. just murdered on the ground below that exceed the number targeted? As they illegally spy on every inch of the planet they could be expected to have some ability to count the innocent freshly murdered civilians laying on the ground in various nations around the globe.
     Not yet formally prosecuted however as of today they still have the dubious luxury of either feigning their well-developed appearances of a lack of concern presumably in hopes that the People will buy into their holier-than-thou haughtiness as in their multitude of previous and doubtless ongoing despicable career transgressions contrary to all values Americans hold sacred or already having gotten themselves so mired in yet other new criminal conspiracies and resultant cover-ups such that they have forgotten exactly which one this was that they in any case uniformly continue in their duties of such important appearance where possible at present or do not as former public officials or contractors as the case may be but whatever their situation as evidenced in the Washington Post article linked to below all implicated in this latest criminal scandal refusing to answer to the press nor the People doubtless only because lacking available opportunity or the imagination here to fabricate their latest plausible lie that being the only type of answer they ever are at ease readily providing to the People it then being a near certainty once again it is a complete lie comfortably consistent with their culture of dishonesty including without limitation both to the People and press and when perjuring themselves under sworn oath to their Congressional overseers and others
     The notable exception to keeping one's mouth shut being most likely the angriest voice of that loud-mouthed pig demanding immediately to start and later extend most all costly failures wherever possible such as when inexperienced "torture contractors" replacing by then sickened CIA returning employees sought to expand or prolong the disastrous CIA Torture Program later trying to improvise their own "tortures" with things found around places like the Guantanamo junkyard after using up the CIA's $80 million of worthless other tortures with Cheney likely duping as long as possible the hapless but fully responsible not-really-elected "President" George "little shrub" Bush reputedly Cheney not surprisingly assisted as needed to promote Bush deception on call whenever some evil deed needs doing the one and only Stanford University gift to the American people who just keeps on sleazing Condosleeza Rice in chorus with that one loud pig heart pig mouth clearly both of whom sold their souls long ago which never again will belong to them.
     That loud pig mouth of course belonging along with his pig heart to former not-really-elected Vice-President first ever since pardoned criminal Spiro Agnew to take the office purely for personal profit, fraud, waste and abuse "Pigheart" Dick ("Criminal Notorious") Cheney born corrupt thug  defiantly vowing to Playboy including its notably widely Islamic Fundamentalist readership and eventually the rest of the world including his various mercenary business ventures from which Cheney assured as a top not-really-elected U.S. official he had cut all ties that might even give the appearance of impropriety except possibly frequent well maybe daily meetings and communications to see what else could be left for his lackeys to steal in some country Cheney next contrived to have the U.S. invade without provocation, brought tons of U.S. goods in the form of new equipment and then left if there without adequate local training training so the U.S. might soon again buy more useless tons of new replacement war contractor equipment only again to leave it preferably where it might readily as traditional find its way into the hands of some present or future armed menace to the U.S. in some other U.S. invaded country from which as perpetually "no-bid" designated contractor Halliburton or related Cheney-connected outfit might under some obscure illegal contract clause automatically grab and profit while despite inaudible Cheney protestations to the contrary his latest corporate benefactors insist Cheney must have his "tribute" for new business opportunities delivered to some Cheney enterprise per his preference and longtime business practice daily on pallets piled high with cash lowered from helicopters (enterprises partly made up of criminal racketeering outfits including international oil corporations and related business principals who for various reasons might be fighting extradition by avoiding all countries with any established legal authorities remaining, plus escaped prisoners of diverse nations, felons getting another chance with the "Big Dick", multitudes of Cheney "associates" with ankle and wrist bailbond bracelets, suitably murderous snipers, thugs, cage wrestlers, mercenaries, the criminally insane, some comprising security services ostensibly strangely engaged to "protect" active U.S. military combat soldiers, U.S. embassy guard positions formerly only held by proud U.S. Marines worldwide but now some tragically replaced inexplicably by Cheney untrained violent criminals carrying sawed-off shotguns and blackjacks among other characteristically illegal street thug weapons having used them mercilessly to beat for no reason people waiting in U.S. Embassy lines as in Pakistan where where the Pakistani police actually raided the Blackwater "Blackdeath" local storehouse of illegal weapons seizing those illegal even in Pakistan typically of the type used by brutally violent street criminals.
     This soon followed of course by another "shakeup" consisting solely of the frequent renamings of the Cheney theoretically but not really "distanced" criminal "no-bid" with extra bonus no performance federal government contract fraud specialists. Altogether collectively popularly known as Halliburton (although its divisions and subsidiaries also may include just about anything based on the principle of "rip-off' such as only a guess "Payday" and "Title" loan stores good places to launder money in various states and countries where arguably not illegal to other ventures as far-flung as gambling casino opportunities in or operating out of Macau) a massively dysfunctional company its very existence and "no-bid no performance" success certainly strongly continuing unchallenged under Cheney in making its principals firstly being Cheney himself ever rapidly more rich principally by depleting the empty treasury of the U.S. federal government but also acquiring other assets such as oil of all countries WMD Cheney invaded with an expertise not so much in doing its job "for the government" but by doing its job "on the government" effectively exploiting federal fraud, waste and abuse opportunities far beyond that of its for all practical purposes disappeared "competitors" it being understandably challenging for them to get government contracts and concomitant opportunities for their own fraud, waste and abuse if they are unable to bid for the work.
     Halliburton spin-off "security" enterprise soon after it had committed its latest new global atrocity was followed by the horrendous senseless shooting murder rampage set off by a former U.S. Army now "Blackdeath" sniper's precision shot to the head of an Iraqi motorist stuck in a traffic circle setting off a frenzied "melee" of unprovoked gunfire killing thirteen more stranded unarmed Iraqi motorists by other also since federally sentenced and imprisoned criminal Blackdeath "security" same criminals now killing since their newest transparently evasive vintage Cheney change in name only the same continuous unreformed Cheney originated unaudited and in any case totally inappropriate uncontrolled "security" pure criminal profiteering conspiracy for the unprecedented "private protection" of active official U.S. military personnel who watched in horror as the highly armed undisciplined Cheney security team massacred for no reason another fourteen innocent Iraqi civilians stuck in a traffic jam, not to overlook also in the aftermath of their internationally illegal U.S. unprovoked Iraqi "first strike" on Baghdad vast armies of inept criminal Cheney Halliburton unskilled "contractors" in Iraq and everywhere else no-bid "contracted" for all types of construction which should have been done by the U.S. Army Engineering Corps including building crumbling extremely dangerous faulty immediately failing infrastructure on which U.S. military lives depended for such things as landing fighter jets on "new" runways already upon completion in the condition of crumbled "concrete" not to mention myriad other racketeering friends and colleagues from Cheney's relentlessly "colorful" past.
     Noteworthy perhaps the only thing Cheney ever was known to have done in his "free" time (his time always cost someone something) included that while in office Cheney in his personal leisure time (really) missed a bird and shot a Texas lawyer in the chest with a shotgun blast one pellet from which almost killed the lawyer instantly lodged just millimeters from the lawyer's heart for which the lawyer later said Cheney never did say "he was sorry".
     When questioned in the instant matter on Cheney's torturous actions unlike the silent others Cheney blithely responded that he presumably as to all countries to which he had not yet laid waste would torture again in a heartbeat again whomever it was apparently should someone just hand him the necessary button to push or joystick to pull. The rest of the Bush-Cheney C.I.A. torturers chose to distance themselves from the "Cheney approach" ever adopting their familiar comfortable air of complete dishonesty so far under the contrived delusion of the C.I.A. ever having been a relatively successful agency for one so stupendously failed repeatedly inadvertently creating the global monsters whose most familiar slogan is "Death to America" then left on the next C.I.A. adventure leaving for the unfortunate U.S. military impossible fights at a cost of untold thousands of Americans lives and limbs continuing on to the C.I.A.s next mistake in an effectively continuously funded seemingly without limit "black budget" regardless of its dismal history seemingly viewed by its routinely lying officials as some permanent serial entitlement program doubtless not having been established as it acts which is as if its own fourth branch of government only because the Founding Fathers forgot probably because the C.I.A. only was authorized albeit with great reservation in 1947 with only foreign jurisdiction answerable to none except under duress and with then exclusively with lies and distortions such "finesse" requiring a preceding lifelong nonchalant bravado handed down generation to generation at a few Ivy League colleges.

     Those being other than the C.I.A. leadership of recent years which may at some point actually experience the loss of their "grace" of living above U.S. and world law much like their hanged or self-poisoned before they could be hanged historical fellow torturers, murderers, kidnappers, and patrons of the deranged criminally insane medical experimenters to name but a few but nevertheless all conspiring and attempting to do so thus no matter be it one or the whole sick gang they have acted altogether in furtherance of the C.I.A. Torture Program comprising a vast conspiracy committing war crimes against humanity presuming these criminal Bush-Cheney administration and C.I.A. torture officials share at least some minimal accordance with the norms of human conduct may have or soon will be even if picked off one finding themselves inevitably gripped by an unfamiliar aggravated personal anxiety or even morbid dread (although not of torture such as they committed but still not of a much better dread of a small personal concrete windowless underground prison cell) consumed with the fundamentally disturbing reality that the entire probable remainder of their lives imminently may become a living hell hung on but a thin reed should they at any moment accidentally take a step abroad (or if not then kidnapped possibly by former experienced former C.I.A. employees and contractors now gone to redeem themselves working for an honest salary rather than in furtherance of torture for the C.I.A. but now instead in the service of the scales of justice at the World Court) or failing all that also presumably at Obama's mere latest inexplicable whim perhaps his desire not to decimate his legacy as the "Chamberlain of America" when if unpunished doubtless the "alleged but very well documented" gang of Bush-Cheney C.I.A. Torture Program human rights war crimes participants and their lawless bureaucratic progeny once again are left to run wild around the globe only be encouraged further on their latest whim to continue murder, also torture crimes useless to the U.S. national security but obviously enormously helpful to terrorists funding and recruiting worldwide, and related kidnappings including the occasional torturing of innocent kidnapped citizens from formerly friendly nations as a matter of policy should "Torture Champ" Obama not change his direction back toward sanity on the matter ceasing his obstruction of justice of torture prosecutions having no possibly believable legal basis whatsoever and ordering the D.O.J. to prosecute the torturers therefore finally faced with the discomforting vision of being thrown if found guilty by a jury of their peers in private Florence, Colorado Supermax cells (with toilet) or their equivalent the criminal Bush-Cheney administration and CIA torture officials, co-conspirators, attempted co-conspirators, accomplices including all those before and after the commission of heinous criminal acts as well as obstructing justice found guilty of violating U.S. criminal statutes and international treaties, conventions and laws against torture including war crimes against humanity who here below declined (refused) as usual to respond to statements of former and present CIA officials admitting to their latest dishonest gross interference with justice as military and civilian lawyers in the below-linked article from the Washington Post reveal as set out in the heading of this post that earlier this year military prosecutors became aware of a cache of thousands of CIA photographs which the CIA likely had hidden from the military prosecutors or in any case "made them hard to find". English and writing students are advised that the preceding paragraph should be sparingly plagiarized without significant editing. Yes it was written as their final contribution by the Ninth Amendment's interns now on their "field trip" to visit the Ninth Amendment underground worldwide Tanguska base of operations and main editorial desk.

     Consistent with the CIA's routine criminal culture of illegal behavior including institutionalized cover-ups of grossly reprehensible blatantly unlawful acts the CIA made documentation incriminating to the CIA essentially inaccessible by having in this case first self-selected what CIA torture documents to reveal to Senate investigators and later federal prosecutors as well by segregating them from the CIA's other electronic records and keeping them on electronic drives at a "secret location in Virginia" that the CIA controls. Meanwhile earlier this year the CIA was stopped just before the CIA intended to misuse a new federal document "housekeeping" act to knowingly wrongfully dispose of countless thousands of doubtless incriminating to the CIA documents evidencing its widespread criminal malfeasance after having kept them only a brief period totally which the CIA doubtless knew to be criminally inadequate by federal records standards and was an obvious attempted inapplicable CIA characteristically criminal abuse of the Act.

     At the "secret location" the CIA presumably through its own endemic ineptitude revealed to Senate staff investigators the so-called "Panetta Report" (now kept locked in a Senate office building safe) proving that the materials the CIA made available in an enormous quantity of thousands of intentionally scrambled documentation in no coherent order were dumped on them to thwart Senate staff investigators so as to hide the CIA's illegal human rights war crime torture practices. The mess of documents the CIA provided were in any case largely bogus misleading "drafts" and presented a totally fraudulent account of the CIA's miserably failed criminal "'Torture Program" following the horrible 9/11 attacks. At the time the torture program then being "designed" was described by the CIA official formerly responsible for CIA counter-terrorism as a "train wreck waiting to happen" before the CIA official abruptly permanently departed the CIA.

    The photos now revealed reportedly document the interior and exterior of so-called CIA "Black Sites" including in Thailand, Afghanistan with its notorious "Salt Pit" torture dungeon, Poland, Romania and Lithuania also including CIA and foreign intelligence officials who now do not wish to be seen fearing "retaliation" for illegally torturing "detainees", as well as the equally inept socio-psychopath so-called "Torture Psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell who designed the CIA's "Torture Program". The uncovered illegally hidden CIA photos in addition to photos of prisoners kept naked in transit furthermore include photos of some of the CIA devices used to commit CIA human rights war crimes used to torture them.

     The far-reaching impacts of this revelation on many ongoing Guantanamo Bay as well as other existing and far overdue prosecutions including senior members of the criminal Bush-Cheney administration and its conspiring criminal CIA officials as well as those responsible for directly acting as its actual torturers including those having committed war crimes against humanity have yet to be prosecuted in the United States or abroad is potentially vast but again evidence of heinous actions against humanity simply ignored. To date President Obama permanently destroys his legacy regardless of what else he does having forbidden the U.S. Justice Department to prosecute a single one of these criminal torturers as the whole world waits.

     The photos obviously have been kept classified by the CIA criminals as usual not for valid "national security" reasons but for their own criminal "personal security" reasons to keep evidence of their illegal, brutal and torturous behavior from the U.S. public and the world community for fear of the devastating personal consequences to them for their criminal behavior which they believe they can engage in with impunity. This particularly with the protection of the FISA monkey rubber stamp courts the Founding Fathers never endorsed nor would have tolerated which to date have rubber stamped all illegal Executive Branch unconstitutional activities. They have brought shame upon the United States worldwide consistently condoning criminal actions in secret courts in trash unreleased "opionions". The Founding Fathers doubtless outraged would called upon all free thinking Americans to get out their weapons and secure more having easily found as compelling another American revolution to demolish these Bush-Cheney Administration and CIA criminals whose actions are not only as bad but sickeningly worse than the British.

     CIA repeated efforts since before the time of the release of the U.S. Senate Torture report and continuing after its revelations even to the present dishonestly to demonstrate falsely that torture produced any significant reliable information (in any case irrelevant to the commission of torture) demonstrates the continuing well-founded concern of those U.S. former and/or present officials responsible for these barbaric acts that the day inevitably will come when those responsible will be prosecuted at home and/or abroad for all applicable crimes including but not limited to human torture and war crimes against humanity.

     Readers interested in more information regarding the huge hidden CIA cache including various photos of the Bush-Cheney senior administration torture commanding office holders and conspirators as well as CIA torturer accessories before and after the fact, CIA torturers and their senior CIA conspiring torture program conspiring bosses, CIA torture program kidnappee tortured "detainees" being transported by the CIA at various illegal CIA "black site" torture facilities, photographs evidencing the on-site presence witnessing torture techniques they had designed unsuccessfully to circumvent United Nations Torture Conventions and U.S. and international laws demonstrating the on-site culpability of CIA "torture psychologists" Bruce Jessen and James Mitchell paid $80 million by the CIA to design "enhanced interrogation" torture devices with no prior formal interrogation experience the philosophy of which had been long ago disproved as providing nothing but thoroughly unreliable disinformation as thoroughly documented in the U.S. Air Force Field Manual and the C.I.A.'s own prior interrogation manual which was not consulted and/or completely ignore, with further photographs establishing on-site black site torture program witness culpability of senior U.S. Bush/Cheney and its CIA administration officials as well as documenting the on-site culpability of foreign officials witnessing acts of torture all of which incriminating evidence of torture was found by military prosecutors to whom it had not been disclosed by the CIA, nor to defense counsel, nor to the American public in CIA obstruction of justice and cover-up of illegal acts by withholding evidence ordered produced from discovery.

     Finally as recently as the following first link below to an article dated Sunday, 20 December 2015 interested readers can find in newly just-discovered evidence of final "go-ahead" approval by President Barack Obama - Senior President Advisor Valerie Jarrett "Kill Lists" for their last step final approval "greenlighting" of U.S. drone assassinations in documents previously unavailable to the public documenting and detailing President Obama administration's drone assassination program which printed documents and accompanying confirm the widespread murderous use of usually Predator drones deploying Hellfire missiles providing legal proof of assassinations in non-combatant foreign sovereign nations by order of through the Office of the President of the United States.
     Despite President Obama's intimations otherwise the widespread mass murder of innocent civilians abroad in peaceful nations by U.S. drones including foreign nationals killed and/or injured by known non-precision kill strikes by the President and the Pentagon and CIA have been responsible for large-scale murder in many theaters of operation extending from the Middle East in nearly all directions including through a string of U.S. drone bases stretching down the continent of Africa in addition to other drones used for the assassination of U.S. citizens including on and off U.S. soil intentionally assassinated in murders committed by  officials of the United States government. The use of drones for the killing in the sovereign airspace and territory of other nations against none of which the United States has declared war under the Constitution by and/or through the direct order of the President of the United States is in direct violation of the Geneva Convention, the U.S. Constitution and many other United States and international laws.

     Readers interested in more information on U.S. mass ground assassination "deaths by drones" operating under no geographical limitation from above firing alleged "precision" Hellfire missiles but without positive "strike kill" personal identification confirmation possible, President Obama's drone "kill list" assassination final approval authority including its reported Presidential ongoing delegation to at least both the since "repositioned" CIA's "the Wolf" aka "Mike" aka "Roger" subject of previous Ninth Amendment posts along with also the similarly empowered but allegedly since "retired" highest ranking Pentagon civilian employee Michael G. Vickers (USD-1) Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence who in addition had direct authority over the military's huge intelligence budget said to dwarf that of other intelligence agencies such as the CIA, as well as the CIA's and other U.S. entities' largely unacknowledged culpability for increasingly globally alleged drone mass murder civilian casualty "collateral damage" can go to the link(s) below the first being to the above-mentioned article more recently published than the second :
