Numerous detainees in American custody were also beaten, tortured and killed. The photos Obama caused to be suppressed — even after two federal courts ordered them disclosed — depicted multiple acts of detainee rape. Thousands were arbitrarily arrested and detained by the U.S. without due process, and continue to be. None of that resulted in a smidgen of accountability for the high-level government officials responsible for all of that, because the Obama administration formally took the position that they should be immunized. Somehow, though, the same Obama officials manage with a straight face to stand up in public and impose penalties on Iranians for the same conduct. Note, too, how freely the Associated Press uses the word “torture” to describe what the Iranians did, in contrast to the American media’s refusal to use that term for what Americans did.
Obama to finally punish torturers!\
As long as they’re not American.
