Support Torture Investigation

Newsweek reported Saturday that Attorney General Eric Holder is considering appointing a prosecutor to investigate whether the Bush administration illegally tortured terrorism suspects.

A decision is expected in the next few weeks. Holder should investigate torture, and he should start with former Vice President Dick Cheney and his legal adviser David Addington.

Do yourself a favor and sign the CREDO petition to tell Attorney General Holder to assign a prosecutor to investigate torture.

Help restore America's values.

Why a Torture Investigation Matters

“…one of the newly released torture memos reveals that Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times and Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times.”
Torture Was Used to Try to Link Saddam With 9/11

Those numbers were for one month, not the entirety of their confinement!!

You have to ask yourself, if waterboarding works, as claimed by Dick Cheney, then why the need for so many “treatments”?

New questions will now be asked.

Will Obama allow Cheney, Rice, and the rest of the “Torture Team” to be extradited to Spain, where a judge is currently investigating their actions under an international treaty signed by the U.S.?

Did you know the U.S. prosecuted Japanese who waterboarded their prisoners during WWII?

Did you know all the “enhanced interrogation” techniques used at Guantánamo were the techniques learned from the Chinese Communists during the Cold War?

You can hear the answers to these questions and more. You'll also get an idea how the torture story will likely be played out, and how it really is a scandal and a disgrace to our democracy. Listen to the link on Fresh Air, Spanish Court To Investigate Bush's 'Torture Team'

Don’t let the Torture Team slither away. Learn more and do all you can to bring them to justice.

We're America, We Don't Torture :-)

"I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture…"

President Obama? No.

This was June 26, 2003. President George W. Bush.

So there it is. We should all be in agreement. Let's get to work and prosecute "all acts of torture".

According to a Fox News report, we'll be violating international law if we don't.
