Petition
On April 16, President Obama said he would not prosecute CIA agents who engaged in torture, because George Bush's lawyers told them it was "legal." President Obama also said Attorney General Eric Holder would use taxpayer dollars to defend torturers against lawsuits by torture victims, and to pay all judgments if they lost.
These decisions are intolerable and unacceptable. Torture is utterly immoral and un-American. It produced absolutely no useful intelligence. It recruited terrorists responsible for at least half the U.S. deaths in Iraq. And it endangered every U.S. soldier who may be captured in the future.
And torture is absolutely illegal. The U.S. ratified the United Nations Convention Against Torture, which prohibits torture and requires prosecution of torturers. In 1947, the U.S. prosecuted a Japanese officer for waterboarding. No lawyer can "legalize" what is illegal.
Congress must take the following actions:
1. Demand the appointment of a Special Prosecutor by Attorney General Eric Holder for torture, warrantless wiretapping, and other heinous crimes of the Bush Administration. (Thanks to Rep. Jerrold Nadler for leading the way!)
2. Prohibit the use of any taxpayer dollars to defend government officials who committed such crimes against lawsuits, or to pay for judgments against them.
3. Impeach Judge Jay Bybee, the torture memo author who serves on the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in California.
4. Protect human rights by restoring Habeas Corpus and the Fourth Amendment (search and seizure), including repeal of the Orwellian-named Protect America Act, U.S.A. Patriot Act, the FISA Amendments, and Military Commissions Act.
5. End secret government by prohibiting use of "State Secrets," "Sovereign Immunity" and "Signing Statements."
As my representative in Congress, I urge you to act immediately.
There is no excuse for the crimes that were committed by the bush administration in my name as a citizen of the United States of America.
I absolutely denounce that I gave my permission for these crimes to be committed in my name.
George bush and dick chenney are criminals, and anyone in their administration that gave permission to torture another human being is also a criminal and should be punished to the fullest measure of the law.
We hung Sadam Hussain for the same crimes these criminals have committed against humanity, and they should face no less punishment
Since the Congress, and Senate of the United States of America hasn't the intestional Fortitude to uphold the Constitution of The United States, up holding the laws in this regard, and...
If the United States Government won't punish them, then I urge an International tribunal to be seated and act with swift justice against all the aforementioned criminals.
They did not act in my name as a citizen of the United States, and are outright International criminals and should face International Justice...
