When is Bush going to pardon Yukio Asano? (5.00 / 1) (#3)
by Molly Bloom on Fri Nov 02, 2007 at 08:29:07 AM EST
Yukio Asano was convicted of water boarding and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in 1947. Apparently it was all a mistake. He's already done his 15 years, so we will have to compensate Yukio some other way. A late pardon is the least we can do!

It was all a miscarriage of justice!

American prisoner Woodall ...had stolen a shirt from the Japanese..was stretched and tied on a hospital stretcher and severely beaten. He was turned upside down and water poured up his nose and beaten into unconsciousness. The treatment lasted for about four hours. ...William Cash...WAS given the identical treatment for the same offense. The Japanese immediately involved in this punishment were FIRST LIEUTENANT HATA, medical officer at the camp, MR ASANO, civilian interpreter, MASTER SERGEANT KITA, and the unidentified Japanese Warant Officer.

All 5 were convicted and got 15 years at hard labor.  When will Bush issue their pardons?
