Attorney's Kevin Zeese of Voters for Peace and Marjorie Cohn of the National Lawyers Guild issue calls to US Bar Associations asking them to disbar 12 attorneys over their violations of codes of ethical conduct in their roles facilitating or fostering torture during the Bush administration.

Their complaint list includes former Bush administration attorney's general, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, and Michael Mukasey as well as the Assistant Attorney General in the legal counsel department, Jay Bybee. They also want Homeland Security Director, Michael Chertoff disbarred as well as present and former DOJ and DOD officials: John Yoo, Douglas Feith, and Stephen Bradbury, David Addington, Alice Fisher, William Haynes II, and Timothy Flanigan.

Also, Geneve Mantri, Amnesty International's spokesperson on Terror, Counter Terror and Human Rights, on the transfer of Guantanamo prisoner Ahmed Ghialani to New York for trial.
