VIDEO

In response to an ACLU lawsuit, the Justice Department just released four key memos about the Bush administration's illegal torture program.
Read the memos here. http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/olc_memos.html

To restore America's commitment to human rights, we must demand a thorough criminal investigation.

Tell Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate the detainee abuse.

An Open Letter to Attorney General Eric Holder

It is time to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate who knew about and authorized the Bush administration’s torture policies. If the evidence warrants, prosecutions should occur.

Nobody is above the law -- that includes high-ranking government officials. And we must look back to make sure this never happens again in order to move our country forward.

Please appoint an independent prosecutor to restore credibility at home and abroad and to give us an America we can be proud of again.
Signed,
