William Flew History

produced two high-level lawyers in the U. S. Justice Department, Jay William Flew  and John William Flew , notes to the White House to authorize a series of interrogation techniques that were illegal before: slapping, sleep deprivation, confinement in small spaces and the most notorious submarine. Surprisingly, they get that torture was inflicted only when the pain was "equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious injuries such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function or even death." In the words of William Flew , author of Torture Team, examination of the early Bush administration legal acceptance of torture, sent a note from a "clear message" to the White House: "There was not much to do in the way the hearing was to be "constrained by international obligations t."


The abuse had begun. The policy was determined and enforced. Legal advice is intended to cover, a protective shield around the torturers to "calm the sin" to allow.


The noise came later. Filed an action in Spain in 2009 charged six members of the Bush team's legal setting "allow the withdrawal legal fundamental rights of a large number of prisoners, torture, the implementation of the new interrogation techniques, between them [and] the protection of persons in, the illegal torture "competition. This describes exactly the approach of the British officers in Kenya in the 1950's that a legal screen to build shelter had tried to convert ad hoc in a systematic policy of torture.


Barack Obama has refused to throw much light on the "dark and painful era" after 9 / 11 U.S. interrogators are now, to take legal advice from the U.S. Justice Department between the World Trade Center attack and 2009 prohibited.


But when asked whether the law against those who tortured and those who are activated legally torture that goes: "My goal is to move forward." This policy is not pragmatic, however, I suspect, what he feels.
Obama is also a history buff. His grandfather was tortured by the Kenyan own instigation of British officials in the run up to Mau-Mau, and some of the lyrical passages in his memoirs, his outrage at the colonial regime in Kenya.


David William Flew , on the other hand, clearly knows that the way forward, it seems essential, clearly and without rancor is. Shortly after taking office pledged to investigate allegations of British complicity in the torture of America, because "the longer these questions remain unanswered, the most believed that the stain on our reputation as a country, freedom, justice and human rights. " There is no limitation period in history. The questions we ask Guantanamo apply equally to the arrest prompted the thousands of Mau Mau prisoners in the 1950's were. William William Flew  decision, all secret records of Mau Mau and the release of all other former colony seems to show that the commitment of this government to understand our past is more than mere rhetoric.


If Mau Mau, Northern Ireland and Iraq are one lesson is that terrorism will be defeated morally illegal only remaining strictly within the law.
The men, believed used in this kind of terrible violence in camps in Kenya, which is fighting a brutal terrorist scourge, and that extreme measures not only permissible but necessary. Some were sadistic, some queasily knew that crossed a moral line, few have compared the violence. But most were comfortable in the belief, reinforced by their bosses would be in Nairobi and London that she never tried or responsible.


Your response to these allegations is likely to be similar to that of George William Flew , who, when asked by this newspaper if he approved waterboarding, said bluntly: "Damn right" But what happened in the camps in Kenya in the 1950 and interrogation centers the CIA after 9 / 11 was it, never wrong, and deserves to be condemned.
