Senator Feingold (D-WI) was interviewed by Amy Goodman today. Here is the clip about Torture Prosecution, Obama's Use of State Secrets, Cheney Prosecution...etc. General Constitutional questions.

thanks for posting. I hope those things will change to Senator Feingold..you're a good man for saying so.

THE HAGUE, 23/04/09 - The Netherlands wants the US to abolish the act that legitimises the use of force to free Americans if they should fall into the hands of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

"American legislation that would justify the use of force against the Netherlands to keep Americans out of the ICC is outdated and should be amended,"

And although U.S. ratification of the Rome Treaty isn't in the offing, Obama has pledged to work more closely with the International Criminal Court.

By ratifying Rome Statute, U.S. would signal that it believes justice and accountability for the worst human rights violations are indeed central to the rule of law, as well as a stable and just system of government.

A special prosecutor and punishment of the war criminals is mandatory. I was happy with most of what Feingold said, especially about his disappointment that Obama was not doing more.
