Recognizing and repudiating the heinous crimes of this Empire, having been catapulted into an unfettered assault on all humans with the fear-mongering and Americentric "war on terror" response to 9/11, rather than what should have been a criminal prosecution, must be a key motivation for our truth movement to take action. This government continues to torture people around the world. Guantánamo is only one example of this, and we must act, with utmost urgency, to stop these crimes whether there, at Abu Ghraib, within prisons inside our own borders, or right in the open on the streets of America (for instance, police violence against peaceful dissenters at the DNC and RNC in August and horse-mounted police attacking Iraq veterans outside the last presidential debate, not to mention the endless attacks on innocent people "walking while brown" on our city's streets). Individuals within the Bush Administration are war criminals, plain and simple. Torture is a war crime, it is a crime against humanity, and it is being done, today, right now, in our name. Exposing detailed contradictions to the official 9/11 narrative is not enough! We must take ACTION in response to the consequences of this bogus, 9/11-generated "war on terror." Torturing human beings around the world is NOT acceptable. It is NOT an American value--it is a heinous, gut-wrenching, appalling crime. Even a Bush-appointed judge has seen and ruled against this. If you have not already, I encourage you to get involved in the massive effort underway to stop torture. All torture. Perhaps you can begin with the effort to Fire John Yoo, who is (incredibly) now a professor at UC Berkeley! (You remember--the Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Office of General Counsel who wrote the 'Bybee memo', and "publicly argued there is no law that could prevent the President from ordering the torture of a child of a suspect in custody – including by crushing that child’s testicles." Yeah, that guy is now teaching college students in California, rather than running from a warrant...) Do something.
