Imagine what might happen if every Senator and Representative got a copy of the Torture Report
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 10:30 AM by ThomWV
You can get a copy of the International Committee of the Red Cross' Report titled "Report on the Treatment of 14 High Value Detainees" in CIA Custody" here:

Imagine how much better informed Congress would be if every member had their own copy? It would be a positive service that each of us might give to our respective Representatives. Most of them have official E-mail accounts and they can be found by simply typing in your zip code or looking up your state here:

As a service to your hard working congressional delegation Do What You Must!

2. What would happen?
A typical congresscritter will plug his ears with his fingers, shut his eyes and bury his head in the sand. He will then proclaim out of his ass (since his head is buried in the sand), "I can't hear you and I don't see anything." You will be able to tell the Republicans from the Democrats by the way the Republican adds, "And if you see or hear something, you must be a terrorist."

3. Imagine what would happen if every one of them got tortured?
I think we might see some investigations then. Maybe even some trials and like locking people up and justicy things like that.

4. If they have already received a copy of the file Cheney or Rove has on them
don' expect any real help from them.

What? You thought wiretaps were for seeing what terrorists were up to?
