Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said.
'They are no longer trying to duck this and have respected their obligation to inform the UN,' the Committee member said.
UN sources said this is the first time the world body has received such a frank statement on torture from US authorities.
The document from Washington will not be formally made public until the hearings.
Wasn't it oh, what, a week or so that the Rethugs were calling for an apology from Senator Durbin, and are still denying one was made, for saying EXACTLY WHAT THIS DOCUMENT states?
See the big fat man behind the curtain pulling the levers. Pay no attention to the little document the United States government quietly filed with the United Nations admitting to TORTURING prisoners.
