Good news on the court ruling. Let's pray for their protection as well as all the whistleblowers out there!

Torture is the most disgusting and evil thing one human can do to another. It is simply not acceptable under any circumstances. Prosecute the past, present and future torturers vigorously and wipe this evil from the globe. It has already spread too far and it's only a matter of time when it will be our turn to be taken to Room 101. Then it will be too late. NOW is the time to put a stop to it.

Yeah. [W]itnessed the sale of U.S government munitions to Iraqi rebel groups [let's let that bit sink in for a minute.] for money and alcohol. After becoming FBI informants, the two were detained and tortured by federal officials for 97 days (Donald Vance) and six weeks (Nathan Ertel) at Camp Cropper in Iraq after contacting the FBI about corruption in the now-defunct federal contractor.

Maybe it was the Iraqi equivalent of Fast and Furious, they took issue with whistleblowers, too. Wonder if they'll get to court or have an accident , first.
