BRIEF: Bush Policy Justifies 'Torture, Paramilitarism, Occupation and Genocide'

WASHINGTON, United States - In a recent article by Stephen Lendman, The Global Research Center attacks the Bush Administration's policy of condoning the use of torture ("enhanced interrogation") in the context of the global war on terror.  Lendman also takes issue with the use of private paramilitary groups, such as Blackwater, to evade the rule of law and "practice street violence with impunity."  Furthermore, Lendman alleges that during the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq, the United States "committed grievous war crime violations of the Hague and Geneva Conventions and UN and Nuremberg Charters" --including mass killings, indiscriminate bombings, and targeting of infrastructure necessary for civilian survival.
