Former Syrian #Prison Official Charged with #Torture


Source: justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/forme…

In that role, #Alsheikh allegedly ordered subordinates to inflict and was sometimes personally involved in inflicting severe physical and mental #pain and suffering on political and other prisoners.


Isn't that exciting? The American #justice #system knows exactly what torture is and can even convict foreigners for it. Unfortunately, it is blind with its own #military or with the #CIA, or can someone explain to me why nobody was punished for #Guantanamo? #Bush admitted to ordering torture after #911 and is still walking around free. This is not only a disgrace to the #legal system but also totally undemocratic, because in a #democracy all people must be equal before the #law.

Well they claim there is an 'exception' when the 'nation' is threatened. Doesn't seem right. One rule for me, another for you.
What's a nation to do?

He's finally dead now, right? Someone should drive a steak through his heart to make sure.

Trump should be in prison.


Agreed.

If he had lost the election, that might have been his sentence in the so-called "hush money" case. He could still go to prison for that crime at the end of his term in January, 2029.

He's such a loose canon that he might even do something stupid enough to make Republicans in Congress turn against him. If that happens he's dead meat.
