3. Here is my e-mail:
I don't understand why there is any question about prosecuting torture. Why did it used to be a crime and maybe not a crime now? Is it because WE are the ones who did the torturing and before that it was another country? I agree that those who carried out the orders are in a dificult position, but those who ORDERED the torture are guilty. I have always been under the impression that NO-ONE is above the law. Why then are Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, et al being treated as though they are above the law? We need to stop this insanity once and for all, therefore I implore you to request that AG Holder appoint a special prosecutor to investigate. If a special investigator was necessary to investigate a "sex crime," I would think an investigation into war crimes would be a no brainer. Please, please do the right thing, Mr. President. The American people are counting on you.
