Manfred Nowak, who serves as a U.N. special rapporteur in Geneva, said Washington is obligated under the U.N. Convention against Torture to prosecute U.S. Justice Department officials who wrote memos that defined torture in the narrowest way in order to justify and legitimize it, and who assured CIA officials that their use of questionable tactics was legal.

"That's exactly what I call complicity or participation" to torture as defined by the convention, Nowak said at a news conference. "At that time, every reasonable person would know that waterboarding, for instance, is torture."

Nowak, an Austrian law professor, said it was up to U.S. courts and prosecutors to prove that the memos were written with the intention to incite torture.

I wonder what Mr. Nowak's position is regarding Ben Laden being responsible for 3,000 in the WTC attack. And has he spoken out about the Islamic extremist beheading innocent people. It's easy to pick on the U.S. when the president will follow up with an apology. Wouldn't it be great if the U.S. kicked the UN out of NY and un-joined the clown organization. Where's Teddy Roosevelt when we need him.
