My LTTE to St. Pete Times, and Tampa Trib.
After reading today, in the New York Times, an article entitled “In U.S. Report, Brutal Details of 2 Afghan Inmates Death”, I am sickened and ashamed to be a US citizen. Two people, that even the interrogators believed were innocent were tortured to death. By our government.

I read a book last year called “Charlie Wilsons War”. It was about our funding and support of the Afghan “Freedom Fighters” after the Soviet invasion. The book went into vivid detail about how the Afghanis would treat captured Soviet troops. They would literally rape them to death or skin them alive. Are our troops now going to be subjected to such treatment? I pray not. It’s not Newsweek’s fault. It’s not the NYTimes fault. They already know it. This is not the case of a few “bad apples”. This is official US Government policy.

As a patriotic American citizen, I demand the IMMEDIATE impeachment, indictment, and conviction, of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, Douglas Feith, Condoleeza Rice, John Bolton, and many more, for both crimes against humanity, and murder. Also everyone known to have “fixed the intelligence” and details, according to the leaked minutes of a British cabinet meeting, to invade Iraq.

And the relatives of over 1,600 brave American servicemen and women who died over these LIES should be the jury.

These are Crimes Against Humanity and the American People. They must be held responsible!

2. Have to agree with you, Dr. Phool. Those are human beings,
and it wouldn't hurt the administrative officials you name to face up to this -- finally.

Strong letter -- I hope it gets to print and changes a few minds.
