Following the publication on Tuesday of the Senate Intelligence Committee's report on Bush-era CIA interrogation practices, a top United Nations expert has called for US officials involved in torture to be prosecuted ? and he says that they can be tried in any country.

"It is now time to take action," Ben Emmerson, UN special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights, declared in a statement. "The individuals responsible for the criminal conspiracy revealed in today's report must be brought to justice, and must face criminal penalties commensurate with the gravity of their crimes."

Emmerson noted that the primary responsibility to prosecute lies with the US Department of Justice and the US Attorney General's Office, but added that "the perpetrators may be prosecuted by any other country they may travel to."

"Torture is a crime of universal jurisdiction," he said.

Isn't it incredible how terrorism doesn't apply to guys in suits?

Sadly I don't think much will come of this, but it would be interesting to see if some other super powers chimed in.
