    What can people or our allies do?

    As long as the US military keeps following these illegal orders, Bush and co. are untouchable. Our allies will do their best to ignore this for three years until the US gets a new president and we stop torturing people.

    I am very dissapointed in the US military power structure and the CIA leadership for not telling Bush and Cheney to go fly a kite when they were ordered to abduct and torture people. If the military and CIA are this quick to secretly torture and kill suspects, then the US is much closer to falling into facism than we would like to think.
