For example, the 1984 U.N. Convention Against Torture, (1465 UNTS 85), Article 12 reads as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     “Each State Party shall ensure that its competent authorities proceed to a prompt and impartial investigation, wherever there is reasonable ground to believe that an act of torture has been committed in any territory under its jurisdiction.”  (NOTE:  The article also explains why “territory under its jurisdiction” includes GITMO and all DOD and CIA secret detention sites for the United States.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following case, among others, has held that waterboarding is torture:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In re Estate of Ferdinand E. Marcos Human Rights Litigation, 910 F. Supp. 1460, 1463 (District of Hawaii, 1995)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Waterboarding is torture regardless of the surrounding circumstances – there is no circumstantial or necessity defense to torture claims.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is time for the appointment of a special prosecutor – General Mukasey must recuse himself because of his refusal to publicly state that waterboarding is criminal torture.  As explained in the law review article and elsewhere, the following individuals played primary roles in the authorization of waterboarding and should be immediately identified as the primary subjects of the investigation:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;George W. Bush&lt;br&gt;Richard “Dick” Cheney&lt;br&gt;John Ashcroft&lt;br&gt;Alberto Gonzales&lt;br&gt;Donald Rumsfeld&lt;br&gt;George J. Tenet&lt;br&gt;John E. McLaughlin&lt;br&gt;Porter Goss&lt;br&gt;David Addington&lt;br&gt;Jay S. Bybee&lt;br&gt;John Yoo&lt;br&gt;Jack Goldsmith&lt;br&gt;General Ricardo Sanchez&lt;br&gt;General Geoffrey Miller&lt;br&gt;General Janis Karpinski&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bush/Cheney Pardon Calendar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the circumstances – a public confession of criminal acts by George W. Bush -- you should expect that immediately after the November elections George W. Bush will pardon all of the people listed above, then resign.  At that point, Richard “Dick” Cheney would become President, and you should expect that in that capacity Cheney will immediately pardon George W. Bush.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Immediate Appointment of Special  Prosecutor&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a result of the expected pardons, a special prosecutor should be appointed immediately&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Commencement of Impeachment Proceedings&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As a result of the expected pardons, on the day after the November elections, the House of Representatives should impeach George W. Bush and Richard “Dick” Cheney for high crimes -- torture -- violating the following statutes, among others:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;18 USC 3231&lt;br&gt;18 USC Sections 2340-2340A&lt;br&gt;18 USC 2441&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please note the strategic importance of simply presenting the impeachment to members of the House with no hearings and an immediate vote on the day after the November elections.  There is no reason for hearings or delay, since George W. Bush has admitted the criminal act that is the basis of the impeachment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;International Crimes Not Subject to Pardon Power&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is worth pointing out that torture violations of the Law of War and international treaties are not subject to the Presidential pardon power.  We will see these individuals on trial in the Hague for their publicly confessed war crimes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Above the Law:  Unlawful Executive Authorizations Regarding Detainee Treatment, Secret Renditions, Domestic Spying and Claims to Unchecked Executive Power,” Jordan J.

What's weird about that is that I never though of it that way.  I read a story on torrentfreak and followed a few links.  Submitted the relevant link to digg, and blogged it so it would appear here.  &lt;br&gt;I did not intend or try to make the top 10 (or front page) of google for that string of letters.  It's possible that subliminally I knew that it might happen and chose to blog it after digging it and that drove my decision to blog it not just digg it.  That said, I still stand by of my position that I did not intend for 'publicity on google' consciously.  If you look at my submissions to digg you will see that I blog most of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, you may not be aware of this, but by adding the string of letters to my page again in your comment you made it a bit more relevant to google. I did not intend for that to happen.  Want me to edit your comment so it doesn't have that string of letters in it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And by the way, currently my page is #11 if you don't count the indented results and at  #13 if you do count them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for commenting. Have a nice _____.&lt;br&gt;~Chris&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:41:24 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What to use instead of OiNK</title><link>http://blog.chrisheath.us/2007/10/27/491/what-to-use-instead-of-oink/#comment-3980510</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Lick my butt i'm a fagface&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT BY CHRIS:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;how about no?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Some Prat</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:26:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What to use instead of OiNK</title><link>http://blog.chrisheath.us/2007/10/27/491/what-to-use-instead-of-oink/#comment-3980509</link><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://honeynova.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="honeynova.com"&gt;honeynova.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EDIT BY CHRIS:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;interestingly, this site is not listed in bp's list&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Honeynova</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 02:40:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What to use instead of OiNK</title><link>http://blog.chrisheath.us/2007/10/27/491/what-to-use-instead-of-oink/#comment-3980508</link><description>&lt;p&gt;fucking nice blog layout!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">no</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:23:04 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: What to use instead of OiNK</title><link>http://blog.chrisheath.us/2007/10/27/491/what-to-use-instead-of-oink/#comment-3980514</link><description>&lt;p&gt;congratulations fuckface, your blog got publicity on google. you're on the front page of"what to use instead of OiNK" searches.
