READ (1/1): Under the Bush administration, the United States Army and the Central Intelligence Agency tortured detainees to extract statements indicating the Government of Iraq was both involved with al Qaeda and connected to thousands of deaths on United States soil (New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania) on September 11, 2001. All written and verbal warnings against torturing prisoners were ignored.

POINT (1/3): The 2003 invasion of Iraq was a deliberate act of aggression, which provoked a war of choice (i.e. aggressive war, a war of aggression), the supreme international crime.
POINT (2/3): The torture of prisoners is "cruel and unusual punishment" banned both by the Constitution of the United States of America (i.e. domestic law) and by international treaty (i.e. international law).
POINT (3/3): These two war crimes are connected. Those guilty of them are all bound to face prosecution in fair trials. All war criminals belong in jail.
