extended to the rest of the world.”
Williams added:
Williams added:
The dissenting judge further stated, “Supposed another country has enacted its own law identical to the US Torture Victim Protection Act. Under the majority’s reasoning, there are no “adequate and available remedies in the place” where the conduct occurred (a US military base). If Mr. Rumsfeld could be found visiting a country with its own TVPA (so he oculd be served with process), plaintiffs Bance and Ertel could sue him in that country under its TVPA because US law would provide no remedy.”…A victim of torture by the Syrian military, for example, can sue in a U.S. court, but a U.S. citizen tortured by the U.S. military cannot.

The director general of Britain’s domestic spying apparatus MI5 has
accused the country’s Muslim community of posing threat to what he
describes as ‘the British public’.
( Just in case you missed that, a faded rerun of the Crusades - religious war - is being used as a distraction and rationale for domestic repression and spying. Odd how that works.
In 1893, we were naturally very anxious to impress upon the British Government that we were loyal subjects and law-abiding citizens )
