Where’s the Accountability?

Has the world gone completely mad?

An Innocent Man, Tortured by the U.S., Asks the U.N.: Where’s the Accountability?


How can Obama get out of this one? Does he just ignore it and let the 24 hour news churn hopefully smother it with Repub reaction to his Immigration reform?

If the UN gets uppity I guess he can just stop funding it?

That article is an ouchie...

Basically the UN holds all aspects of government to society accountable.

Did you see the 'Unfair Trials' bit....

Score one for the UN.

In fact, let's make it two black eyes from the UN for BO:

Moves by some U.S. states to legalize marijuana are not in line with international drugs conventions, the U.N. anti-narcotics chief said on Wednesday, adding he would discuss the issue in Washington next week.

Residents of Oregon, Alaska, and the U.S. capital voted this month to allow the use of marijuana, boosting the legalization movement as cannabis usage is increasingly recognized by the American mainstream.

"I don't see how (the new laws) can be compatible with existing conventions," Yury Fedotov, executive director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), told reporters.

Asked whether there was anything the UNODC could do about it, Fedotov said he would raise the problem next week with the U.S. State Department and other U.N. agencies.

The Oregon and Alaska steps would legalize recreational cannabis use and usher in a network of shops similar to those operating in Washington state and Colorado, which in 2012 voted to become the first U.S. states to allow marijuana use for fun.

Marijuana remains classified as an illegal narcotic under federal law, although the Obama administration has said it was giving individual states leeway to carry out their own recreational-use statutes.

Even the UN knows more about USA federal law than BO and the DoJ...

Bullshit!

Exactly. The UN deals in bullshit and even they are calling BO out.

The torture happened under Bush's watch.

Let's hope Obama sends the Bush criminals to jail.
