Ex-deputado estadual, me filio ao PT, por onde alcanço mais dois mandatos, já como federal. Com a guinada ideológica imposta ao Partido pelo pragmatismo escolhido como caminho pelo governo Lula, saio e me incorporo aos que fundaram o Partido Socialismo e Liberdade, onde milito atualmente.

WikiLeaks desafia Pentágono revelando novos documentos secretos

Pentágono ameaça Wikileaks por novas revelações, a despeito das ameaças contra Assange. Que, por sua vez, se declara surpreendido pela omissão da grande mídia diante da gravidade do que está sendo revelado. Prova de que torturas continuam na ordem do dia, o que não é de surpreender tendo em vista a desfaçatez com que EUA se consideram no direito de decretar penas de morte, através de bombardeios por meio de Drones - aviões sem piloto anunciados como capazes de ataques "cirúrgicos" , que na verdade terminam por provocar perdas de vida colaterais de civis inocentes, circulando perto dos "terroristas"-alvos por ocasião das ações conduzidas por operadores a partir de Washington.

Pentágono adverte Wikileaks sobre risco vazamentos
"Nós não fazemos comentários sobre a autenticidade dos documentos publicados pelo WikiLeaks", acrescentou o porta-voz, que falou com a condição de permanecer anônimo

Washington - O Pentágono advertiu nesta sexta-feira o WikiLeaks que divulgar documentos confidenciais pode pôr em perigo a segurança dos Estados Unidos, depois que o site começou a publicar manuais sobre o tratamento aos presos sob custódia militar do país.

"É uma ameaça para nossa segurança nacional e enfraquece nossos esforços para trabalhar com outros países a fim de resolver problemas comuns", afirmou à Agência Efe um porta-voz do Departamento de Defesa que não confirmou a autenticidade dos documentos.
"Nós não fazemos comentários sobre a autenticidade dos documentos publicados pelo WikiLeaks", acrescentou o porta-voz, que falou com a condição de permanecer anônimo.
No entanto, destacou que a divulgação não autorizada de documentos confidenciais "proporciona ao inimigo um meio para danar substancialmente os EUA e nossos aliados".
A plataforma fundada por Julian Assange, conhecida pela difusão de milhares de documentos diplomáticos dos EUA e de outros sobre as guerras no Iraque e no Afeganistão, começou a divulgar na quinta-feira uma centena de documentos do Departamento de Defesa americano.
Estes documentos recolhem os procedimentos a seguir com os suspeitos que se encontram sob custódia das autoridades militares dos EUA nos centros de detenção no Iraque e na base de Guantánamo (Cuba), assim como os manuais para os interrogatórios.
A organização fundada por Julian Assange anunciou através de um comunicado que, ao longo do próximo mês, divulgará por ordem cronológica os arquivos que agrupou sob o título "Políticas de Detenção" com as instruções seguidas durante mais de uma década.
Assange, asilado na embaixada do Equador em Londres desde junho para evitar ser extraditado à Suécia, onde é requerido por um suposto crime sexual, assinalou em comunicado a importância "histórica" destes documentos, já que "Guantánamo se transformou no símbolo do abuso sistemático dos direitos humanos". 


WikiLeaks: The Detainee Policies
05:00am New York Time (EDT), (10:00am London time (BST)) Thursday, 25th October 2012

Starting today, Thursday, 25th October 2012, WikiLeaks begins releasing the ’Detainee Policies’: more than 100 classified or otherwise restricted files from the United States Department of Defense covering the rules and procedures for detainees in U.S. military custody. Over the next month, WikiLeaks will release in chronological order the United States’ military detention policies followed for more than a decade. The documents include the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of detention camps in Iraq and Cuba, interrogation manuals and Fragmentary Orders (FRAGOs) of changes to detainee policies and procedures. A number of the ’Detainee Policies’ relate to Camp Bucca in Iraq, but there are also Department of Defense-wide policies and documents relating to Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and European U.S. Army Prison facilities.

Among the first to be released is the foundation document for Guantanamo Bay ("Camp Delta") – the 2002 Camp Delta SOP manual. The release of the ’Detainee Policies’ marks three years of Camp Delta (Guantanamo Bay) SOP manuals released by WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks has now released the main Guantanamo Bay operating manuals for 2002, 2003 and 2004. The previously unpublished 2002 manual went on to shape successive years in the Guantanamo Bay prison complex and other U.S. military prisons around the world, such as Abu Ghraib. "This document is of significant historical importance. Guantanamo Bay has become the symbol for systematised human rights abuse in the West with good reason," said WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. "But how is it that WikiLeaks has now published three years of Guantanamo Bay operating procedures, but the rest of the world’s press combined has published none?"

In relation to Iraq, the release includes Operation Orders (OPORD) regarding policies for screening and interrogating detainees. The documents also include routine instructions relating to staffing, scheduling of legal visitation, procedures for administering medical treatment, how medical records and daily staff journals are to be kept, cigarette rationing and what items are "authorised for detainee possession".

A number of what can only be described as ’policies of unaccountability’ will also be released. One such document is the 2005 document ’Policy on Assigning Detainee Internment Serial Numbers’. This document is concerned with discreetly ’disappearing’ detainees into the custody of other U.S. government agencies while keeping their names out of U.S. military central records – by systematically holding off from assigning a prisoner record number (ISN). Even references to this document are classified "SECRET//NOFORN". Detainees may be disposed of in this manner without leaving a significant paper trail.

Another formal policy of unaccountability is a 2008 Fragmentary Order that minimises the record-keeping surrounding interrogations. Following revelations of torture tapes and pictures from Abu Ghraib and the political scandal over the destruction of Central Intelligence Agency interrogation tapes, the FRAGO eliminates "the requirement to record interrogation sessions at Theatre Internment Facilities". Although the FRAGO goes on to state that interrogations that take place at Division Internment Facilities and Brigade Internment Facilities must be recorded, it then states that these should be "purged within 30 days". This policy was subsequently reversed by the new Obama administration.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said: "The ’Detainee Policies’ show the anatomy of the beast that is post-9/11 detention, the carving out of a dark space where law and rights do not apply, where persons can be detained without a trace at the convenience of the U.S. Department of Defense. It shows the excesses of the early days of war against an unknown ’enemy’ and how these policies matured and evolved, ultimately deriving into the permanent state of exception that the United States now finds itself in, a decade later."

A number of documents relate to the policies surrounding the interrogation of detainees (2004, 2005, 2008). Direct physical violence is prohibited, in writing, but a formal policy of terrorising detainees during interrogations, combined with a policy of destroying interrogation recordings, has led to abuse and impunity. We learn of policies that apply to international forces: a 13-page interrogation policy document from 2005 relates to all personnel in the Multi-National Force–Iraq (MNF–I). It details "approved" "interrogation approaches". The documents detail the promotion of exploitative techniques such as the "Emotional Love Approach: Playing on the love a detained person has for family, homeland or comrades". In the "Fear Up (Harsh)" approach, by contrast, "the interrogator behaves in an overpowering manner with a loud and threatening voice in order to convince the source he does indeed have something to fear; that he has no option but to co-operate".

The ’Detainee Policies’ provide a more complete understanding of the instructions given to captors as well as the ’rights’ afforded to detainees. We call upon lawyers, NGOs, human rights activists and the public to mine the ’Detainee Policies’ and investigate important issues such as the denial of access to the ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) to detainee facilities, as well as to research and compare the different generations of SOPs and FRAGOs to help us better understand the evolution in these policies and why they have occurred.
