Revoke Obama's Nobel 2009 Peace Prize For Blocking Prosecution Of Bush / Cheney Officials, CIA, DIA Torturers War Crimes And Crimes Against Humanity

     Sunday, 11 September 2016, WASHINGTON, D.C - The Ninth Amendment editorial board holds this truth to be self-evident that the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize wrongly awarded to undeserving United States President Barack Obama must be revoked as Obama has refused to surrender it at the Nobel Committee's request that he voluntarily return it for his absolute failure to prosecute a single one of the Bush/Cheney torturers detailed here in previous posts including without limitation former not-really-elected President Bush and Vice-President "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney as well as all responsible including conspiring members of their administration and of the CIA, the DIA and all other responsible parties acting falsely and clearly repugnant to and in bad faith under the claimed authority of the United States Constitution in the commission of acts of torture war crimes and crimes against humanity as unequivocally documented without limitation in the Senate Torture Report  in clear violation of domestic and international laws and treaties and conventions for which they may be prosecuted at any time for the remainder of their lives.
     Moreover Barack Obama has actively protected and shielded the guilty parties obstructing justice having given personal assurances of non-prosecution to CIA former directors and others including as documented by Leon Panetta and preventing his appointed Attorneys General Eric Holder, Jr. and Loretta Lynch from bringing any prosecutions against a single one of the above torturers ordering the complicity of the United States Department of Justice in this profoundly damaging failure to enforce the law and prosecute these crimes thus severely diminishing the moral authority of the United States in the global community and forever undermining domestically and internationally the core values of and in clear contravention of the founding principles of the United States Constitution.
     Should Obama not remedy this unconscionable course of action obstructing prosecution of those known to have committed crimes against humanity and war crimes before the end of his term as President of the United States such also will be his legacy tainting his other acts during his tenure in office just as will be his commission of and untruthful denial of and his administration's attempts to cover up its responsibility for mass murder of innocents worldwide including U.S. citizens by drone strike kills.

UPDATE:  Readers interested in more information on the above as well as related details of Obama's extensive failures to correct but rather protect and expand on vast unconstitutional illegal atrocities of the Bush/Cheney administration and also leave as his legacy the stronger danger of further clearly unconstitutional illegal atrocities including torture under unfounded bogus "legal" theories concocted on demand by DOJ complicit hack scum significantly more likely under future administrations can go to the link below.

Poland C.I.A. "Black Site" Pays $260,000 Detainee Reparations Per European Court Of Human Rights For Allowing C.I.A. Poland Torture Site Imprisonment

     Saturday, 16 May 2015, WARSAW - Marcin Wojciechowski the chief spokesperson for Poland's Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday said that Poland will meet the deadline set for today by the European Court of Human Rights last July 2014 for Poland to pay $260,000 in reparations to two C.I.A. detainees for Poland having allowed in "violation of their human rights" the C.I.A. in 2002 to imprison them in a reportedly now closed C.I.A. "secret facility" in northeast Poland to "interrogate" (unspecified as to whether C.I.A. "enhanced' or C.I.A. "not enhanced" version) the two alleged terrorism suspects with Mr. Wojciechowski stating of Poland that "[w]e will abide by the ruling, as we always do".
     Mr. Wojciechowski this past February said that authorities had made arrangements for the $260,000 reparations money to be put into accounts that the two "suspects" could access only after they have been released. The two men Abu Zubaydah, identified as a "high-ranking Al-Qaeda official", and Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, "accused" in the planning of the 2000 attack on the American destroyer Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden, currently still are being held by the U.S. apparently 13 years later without charges (and therefore may not have a very good idea when they might access their reparations money assuming they even know it has been awarded and paid to them) in the American "military" prison in Guantanamo Bay.
     Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) endorsed by other U.S. senators at the time of the public release of a summary of the U.S. Senate Torture Report last year which concluded that the C.I.A. under the control and responsibility of the not-really-elected Bush-Cheney administration and then-current top C.I.A. officials unequivocally committed acts of torture stated that the continuing operation of Guantanamo Bay is "the best recruiting billboard that terrorists have today".  The Ninth Amendment editorial board would like to suggest that at least the second best "recruiting billboard" terrorists now have today is called CNN (aka TNN "Terror News Network").

UPDATED: CIA Torture Videos Retro Report Fuels Attention To Sole "Torture-Related" CIA Conviction To Date Untrained "Contractor" Who For Two Days Beat Afghan Farmer Including With Heavy Flashlight And Groin Kicks To Death Sentenced To Six Year Prison Term After DOJ Patriot Act Prosecution

     Monday, 20 April 2015, NEW YORK, NY - "Retro Report" a series of video documentaries on major past news stories' impact today has brought attention to the case of remorseless CIA contractor David A. Passaro who served a six-plus year federal prison term prosecuted by the Department of Justice under the Patriot Act of all things for admittedly without training in interrogation techniques in 2003 beating Afghan farmer Abdul Wali with his fists as well as a heavy flashlight and groin kicks for information continuing despite Mr. Wali's pleas "to be shot" until his death two days later at an American military base in Afghanistan. Passaro maintains that he "wasn't hired to be nice to these terrorists" but that he "was there to get a job done" which he claims he did.
     Mr. Passaro's conviction is the only known CIA torture-related conviction to date even after the December 2014 release four months ago of the Senate Intelligence Committee's executive summary of its "Torture Report" concluding that the Bush Administration CIA routinely systematically committed many sick and grotesque acts of torture against "detainees" in violation of United States and international law finding however that the CIA's torture practices were "high in brutality and low in effectiveness". Even the CIA-controlled confinement conditions of detainees at Guantanamo Bay (much less CIA "black sites") shocked visitors from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons who despite not being known for their compassion for federal inmates said they never had seen such brutal conditions of confinement "deprivation" of prisoners in their lives.
     Attorney General John Ashcroft's announcement at the time of Mr. Passaro's grand jury indictment that "criminal acts of brutality and violence against detainees" would not be tolerated has to date not yet shown itself to be true as Bush hack White House Counsel later hack U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales found that the Geneva Conventions conveniently did not apply to CIA torture of detainees which legal opinion later was endorsed by CIA General Counsel John "Goodfella" Rizzo in reality endorsing years of a CIA untrained unsupervised employee and contractor free-for-all basically pointlessly torturing indefinitely kept without charges "detainees" with whatever torture technique came to their twisted minds including "rectal hydration" and "rectal feeding" and at least in one case killing a detainee by exposure chaining him overnight to a freezing cement floor which presumably elicited minimal information although collectively served as a terrific "recruitment" billboard for terrorist organizations according to several U.S. Senators.
     Despite President Obama's naive informal assurance to officials of CIA personnel immunity from prosecution if they in "good faith" adhered to the bogus legal opinions purporting to justify torture set forth in memos which President Obama then publically released CIA officials and personnel clearly had not adhered even to the confines of those memos at all. The need for the criminal prosecution for torture war crimes against humanity at home and/or abroad of Bush Administration and CIA officials, personnel and contractors has been clearly documented for all the world to see including in the Senate Torture Report most of which remains to be released as well as the so-called "Panetta Report" the history of which is addressed in a previous Ninth Amendment post. Former not-really-elected Vice-President "Pigheart" Dick "Criminal Notorious" Cheney upon release of the Senate Torture Report summary demonstrated the future danger he may pose to others by defiantly stating he would commit acts of torture "again" if given the opportunity although there may be certain countries he presumably would refrain from visiting due for fear of immediate prosecution.
     [UPDATED] Readers interested in more information about the above can go to the link directly below which includes Retro Report CIA torture videos. Readers interested in the horrifying but true saga of the two totally unqualified even untrained in interrogation psychologists James Elmer Mitchell and Bruce Jessen who were paid $180 million by the CIA to design the CIA's so-called "enhanced interrogation" torture program which the CIA's chief of interrogations after seeing the plans Mitchell and Elmer came up with wrote to CIA colleagues that "[t]his is a train wreak [sic] waiting to happen and I intend to get the hell off the train before it happens" according to the Senate Torture Report can go to the Vanity Fair article at the second link below.
