Iraqi Constitution: Bush Better Beware



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Here's a link to a very general outline of the proposed Iraqi Constitution. One section caught my eye and should give Bush pause:

Chapter Two -- Article 35 -- c. All kinds of physical and psychological torture and inhumane treatment are prohibited, and any confession is considered void if it was taken by force, threats and torture. The person who was harmed has the right to ask for compensation for the financial and moral damage he/she suffered.
Apparently, these Iraqis don't have the stomach for fighting terror, the wimps. So as soon as this Constitution is in effect, Bush better get the Iraqis to give US soldiers immunity from the law. You can't expect Bush to defend democracy without using torture, can you?
