thread title (12/22 GD): US BILL up this week would ALLOW TORTURE for evidence, long-term holding

The press release from Human Rights Watch is in reply #7.

The final vote may be Thursday, for Bush will surely sign it into law. It would legitimize torture, prevent detainees' access to US courts, allow "evidence" acquired by torture to be used against detainees in military courts, and much more. And it has been suppressed in our "free press."

THIS IS URGENT!!!! We're at the last minute here. Call your House Reps about the Graham-Levin amendment, which may well be voted on TODAY (Thursday)!!!
