US Chiefs Can't be Sued for 'Terror Torture'
By Robert Barnes
The court ruled 5 to 4 that the top officials are not liable for the
actions of their subordinates absent evidence that they ordered the allegedly
discriminatory activity. The decision followed the court's ideological split
between conservatives and liberals, with Justice Anthony M. Kennedy siding with
the conservatives and writing the opinion.

Condemning Torture, Condoning Mass Murder
By Charles Davis
The idea that war crimes and civil liberties violations are strictly
conservative affairs is particularly comforting to wide-eyed Democrats in awe
of America's First Black President T, and it affords the heirs to the same
liberal establishment which brought us Vietnam and Hiroshima another
opportunity to grandstand about their commitment to human rights even as the
noble humanitarian Barack Obama continues to extra-judicially murder foreigners
with unmanned drones.
