Yahoo News: Judge allows American to sue Rumsfeld over torture
Soooooo... The liability of deciding to torture your contractors will impede future US military decisions. And if you report the illegal activities of the contractor you work for, the US military will hold you in a cell and torture the fuck out of you.
How do you feel about this, theking?

Fuck the military. Let's give them single prop Cessnas and replace their mega-artillery with pepper mace squirt guns.
