Argentina-People cannot forget the missing 30,000 people in the Military dictatorship backed by the CIA.

UNITED STATES-CIA GET AWAY WITH TORTURE MOST CRUEL.

Obama affirmed his administration’s unwillingness to prosecute under anti-torture laws CIA personnel who relied in good faith on Bush administration legal opinions issued after the Sept. 11 attacks.

The four memos Obama released approved techniques including waterboarding, week-long sleep deprivation, nudity and putting insects in with a tightly confined prisoner.

"We find that the use of the waterboard constitutes a threat of imminent death" — one of the criteria for torture, the first memo from 2002 said. "It creates in the subject the uncontrollable physiological sensation that the subject is drowning."

However, it said, "in the absence of prolonged mental harm, no severe mental pain or suffering would have been inflicted, and the use of these procedures would not constitute torture within the meaning of the statute."
