		<description><![CDATA[Dick Cheney admits being a supporter of the near-drowning torture technique called waterboarding, even if the US generally regards its use as a war crime. Robert Parry, author of a new book entitled Secrecy &#38; Privilege: Rise of the Bush Dynasty from Watergate to Iraq, writes in AlterNet, “Cheney was unrepentant about his support for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former US president George W. Bush convoluted some definitions. ‘The ambiguity began shortly after 9/11, when then-U.S. President George W. Bush defined two missions: waging a war on terror, and bringing Osama bin Laden and his followers to justice. Both made for good rhetoric. But they also were fundamentally contradictory. A war is not a [...]]]></description>

The U.S. offer was a new gesture of openness of the Obama administration which attempts a cautious and gradual approach with the Castro regime.

		<description><![CDATA[For starters, Bush insisted that torture was legal. He bought into the official legal reviews on it, hook, line, and sinker. If his administration’s legal counsels said that no international or domestic law can bind him to legal culpability in times of war, then the advice must have been sound.

They belong to the nefarious circle by virtue of authorizing torture to be systematically employed in the name of information gathering post-9/11 for the sake of intelligence. They carried out the strategy, as well as legally justified it. All these point to the [...]]]></description>
