Call on the Justice Department to Appoint a Special Prosecutor
The Justice Department -- in response to an ACLU lawsuit -- just released four key memos about the Bush administration's illegal torture program. Read the memos here.

These memos supplied the framework for an illegal interrogation program that permitted the most barbaric forms of abuse, violated domestic and international law, alienated America's allies and yielded information that was both unreliable and unusable in court.

Exposing the truth is only the first step. The content of these memos makes it more clear than ever that we must fully investigate the immoral and illegal actions that were carried out against detainees in the so-called "war on terror."

Stand with the ACLU. Ask Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate the interrogation of detainees in the war on terror.

---------------------------------

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,

4. You're welcome!
I saw it here, before wading into my overloaded inbox, lol!

The ACLU is the only organization that has monthly access to a credit card here, and I'm sure that you saved me some time in the swamp of my inbox!
