CITIZENS' HEARING ON THE LEGALITY OF THE IRAQ WAR: PART 1
The Case of Lt. Ehren Watada
JANUARY 20-21, 2007
Tacoma, Washington, USA
"In an unprecedented two-day Citizens' Hearing held over January 20-21, more than 600 citizens joined a distinguished tribunal panel in listening to testimony about the legality of the US invasion of Iraq. The Citizens' Hearing was convened to present evidence that Lt. Ehren Watada would have presented in his February 5 court martial on the question that the military ruled barred from entry on Jan. 16 - the question of the Iraq War's legality. Lt. Watada has repeatedly asserted that because the Iraq War is illegal, it is his duty to refuse orders to deploy. He is the Army's first commissioned officer to take such a stand."

Jane Mayer on Legality, Morality & Efficacy of Torture
Question: America is founded on the principles of Justice. How much of your principles, your soul as a nation, are you prepared to sacrifice for your survival?
At what point do you give up so much of what you believe that you are no longer worth saving?
Jane Mayer, Author of The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals, is interviewed about her book on Morning Joe.
She discusses the legal and ethical opposition inside the U.S. government to the Bush torture agenda and how American ideals were placed in jeopardy after 9/11 in the rush to protect the U.S.
The effectiveness of torture comes up. Joe Scarborough defends the use of torture arguing that it has worked on occasion.
Mayer, argues, however, that her research suggests torture has little value as intelligence gathering tool. She relates how torture backfires legally producing evidence rarely admitted into court. At the same time she says torture hardly, if ever, produces useful intelligence and most of the time yields bogus data which then wastes resources chasing false leads.
