In the course of trying to prove that its “enhanced” interrogation program was legal, the Bush administration may have broken the law, according to a new report by Physicians for Human Rights. The watchdog group claims that in an attempt to establish that brutal interrogation tactics did not constitute torture, the administration ended up effectively experimenting on terrorism detainees. This research, PHR alleges, violated an array of regulations and treaties, including international guidelines on human testing put in place after the Holocaust.
Did the Bush Administration Experiment on Detainees?

Sheriff’s deputies raided two Sizzler steak house restaurants in Phoenix on Saturday, arresting nine employees who are suspected of being illegal immigrants and using fraudulent documents to get jobs.

A year-long investigation to bag nine illegal immigrants? Sounds like a waste of money to me. Interestingly, they started the investigation on a tip from an ex-employee saying he’d been let go for not hiring people lacking proper documents, and yet even though one of these illegal immgrants had been deported and come back three times –and rehired at Sizzler each time– no mention of anyone in management getting arrested. Of course not, we don’t seem to enforce the laws against hiring people without proper work documents. That’d be crazy!
