In response to an ACLU lawsuit, the Pentagon had been court-ordered to release photos of detainee abuse in U.S. facilities from 2001-2006. These photos, including many from Bagram, Afghanistan, where the detention facilities have been doubled to hold 60,000 detainees, would have shown that torture was wide-spread, sustained and systematic, not an aberration but an integral part of the global war of terror on the people. But the release was blocked. Weeks ago four torture memos revealed the sadistic detail with which Bush’s Lawyers choreographed the torture of detainees. Cheney and the open advocates of torture scream that they must be able to use “harsh methods” to win their global war on terror.
The Obama Administration is continuing indefinite detention, CIA rendition, Bush’s executive powers, and denying Bagram detainees the right to challenge their detention, says prosecution of torturers would stop them from “moving forward”. Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi knew about the torture as early as 2002, but said and did nothing to stop it.
IT’S UP TO THE PEOPLE TO ACT! World Can’t Wait and other groups are planning non-violent civil resistance protests to demand prosecution of the Bush-era War Criminals. Call Attorney General Eric Holder 202-353-1555 or email AskDOJ@usdoj.gov Demand a Special Prosecutor!
