At what point did the People extend U.S. Jurisdiction of such matters? Acts committed outside the United States fall under a the jurisdiction of that foreign state. Justice would be a good change.
downsteamJm, How did Charles Taylor have anything to do with Clinton? Or Bush for that matter. This stuff happened in a foreign country. The US should not be trying people for crimes commited in foreign countries unless they harmed US interests. If crimes are committed by foreigners against foreigners in foreign countries the US has no standing.
"People were shocked by electric devices, stabbed with bayonets, burned with cigarettes, scalding water and molten plastic, bitten by shovelfuls of ants and imprisoned in water-filled holes topped by iron bars and barbed wire."
I bet these folks would consider sleep deprivation, loud music even waterboarding a vacation when compared to how these guys torture.

I dunno, why don`t we try all of that on you and you can write about it in the restaurant guide.
Re: "I''m glad to see the US court system stand up to torture, and exercise a law (against) torture in (foreign) countries. Now Cheney, Bush and others who ordered and applied torture in the wake of September 11, 2001 should also fall under the same laws and trial. Until that is done this man has been prosecuted by a Kangaroo court."
The World is just so unfair ,but why not G. W. Bush and Rumsfeld , Cheney will at least find guilty serve 97 hours . Democracy & justice are really just like the Bible.
Again this is another extreme injustice serve in the name of Justice as they done to Saddam Hussein and many others.
The Balance is not well balanced , Flip Flop Justice.

Excellent point.
"Former Liberian President''s Son Gets 97 Years In U.S. Prison For Oversees Crimes"
This is an encouraging result.
This can serve as a precedent for convicting the Bush regime and their accomplices for their torture activities.
Saddam Hussein killed thousands of Kurds.
Yet you claim he was a victim. My god man get your facts in order.
Again this is another extreme injustice serve in the name of Justice as they done to Saddam Hussein and many others.
