Sure, why not? Telecoms got it, why not torturers?

Contractor says immune from Iraq torture lawsuits

"Defense contractor CACI (KA'-kee) claims it should be immune from lawsuits alleging torture at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, saying it was doing the U.S. government's work as a supplier of interrogators."

Privatized torture: Should we grant immunity to those who performed the deeds since the ones who ordered and authorized it seem to be skating off into the sunset land of tell-all book writing, the $50G speech circuit, TV punditry and advising campaigns?


"CACI and another contractor, L-3 Communications, are accused in separate lawsuits of a conspiracy to torture detainees in 2003 and 2004.

"Plaintiffs attorneys said the company's claim of immunity has no merit."
