Breaking the Set No. 167 -- 2013 May 16 TH

Assisting Death, Pakistan Elections, Justice for Abu Ghraib Torture Victims

On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin reports on a bill passed by Vermont lawmakers which legalizes doctor assisted death, and talks to George Eighmey of the Death with Dignity National Center about the misconceptions many Americans have about assisted death. Abby then talks to RT correspondent, Lucy Kafanov, about public sentiment over Pakistan's elections, and what it means for Pakistan/US relations. Abby then goes over the horrors of the torture that occurred at the US run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, from sexual humiliation to physical abuse, and highlights how the real criminals who implemented these policies are walking free. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with Abed Ayoub, Legal Director of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, about a petition for the DHS to have three Abu Ghraib Torture survivors testify on US soil against the defense contractor CACI Premier Technology, who played a role in their torture.
