yes they were. i don't believe for what they did. but because they were found out by the media. they were not tried as criminals but as soldiers. it was not done by the hague it was by a military court. it was leniant and half hearted.

telling me i fail smacks of arrogance.
I would rather face the American law than any sort of military tribunal. As for nothing would have happened if the media didn't find out about it...you are probably right. Is it wrong? Yes. Is anyone here going to argue otherwise? I hope not.

As for the definition of torture being redefined...that was not legislation. That is the doing of the Department of Justice. That was not a law that was passed, hence it wasn't legislated.

What does pulling out of the international court system have to do with anything?

Finally, yes, telling you that you fail does smack of arrogance but since when has me being arrogant been news to ANYONE?!?!...also you have re-failed
