When jackals go into a feeding frenzy they never lift their head to see if any more carcasses are around they feed till their food source is depleted then move on to the next available easy prey, They start feeding with one running in to take a bite,That goes well the rest join, No available downed prey they work as a team to cripple and down the next prey and the cycle starts over
The first step forward for those people are recognition of the signs and taking the appropriate steps before it affects everyone around them whether it be family, friends or some instances anyone online they come in contact with First step is always admission there is an ongoing problem
Not so much defending the man as stirring the pot, how can four people do politics day after day and always agree on every topic. but that's life in area 51... Think I will wait for the movie to hit the theaters
"President Bush has admitted he ordered waterboarding which everyone considers to be a form of torture under international law. Under the Convention against Torture, authorities would have been obliged to open an investigation and either prosecute or extradite George Bush," Brody said.
Swiss judicial officials have said that Bush would still enjoy a certain diplomatic immunity as a former head of state.
Dominique Baettig, a member of the Swiss parliament from the right-wing People's Party, wrote to the Swiss federal government last week calling for the arrest of Bush for alleged war crimes if he came to the neutral country.
Most human rights experts consider the practice a form of torture, banned by the Convention on Torture, an international pact prohibiting torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment. Switzerland and the United States are among 147 countries to have ratified the 1987 treaty.
"Whatever Bush or his hosts say, we have no doubt he canceled his trip to avoid our case. The message from civil society is clear - If you're a torturer, be careful in your travel plans. It's a slow process for accountability, but we keep going," the Paris-based FIDH and New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights said in a joint statement on Saturday.
"I'm surprised he (Bush) would even consider visiting a country that has ratified the torture convention and which takes its responsibilities seriously," said Brody.
"I think George Bush's world is a very small place at the moment," he said. "He may enjoy some kind of impunity in the United States, but other countries will not treat him so indulgently."
I was unaware until i watched a PBS show on cattle ranches feeding saw dust to cattle, so i looked into what they recommended feed lots to mix in with grains, it was sickening
I don't know if you are talking about Assange, Lennon, The Nobel, transparency, or just me....but how you view me does not matter enough for me to bow my head and surrender to your way of thinking.......you have said nothing to change my opinion about the topic of this thread.....
And never will but other people in life will have opinions that differ from yours... all i said was anyone can point a finger... would the wrong out weigh the good in the documents from wikileaks, I do not know because i never read them, but i did read about one country that the documents did help. But like they say you can not believe everything you read, So it is a wait and see what happens game.
Valen also announced his choice on his blog, where he wrote that WikiLeaks had advanced the struggle for human rights, democracy and freedom of speech, just like last year's winner, Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
Valen cited disclosures of nepotism and corruption in Tunisia's presidential family, saying WikiLeaks "made a small contribution to bringing down" that regime.
