The People's Email Network Last 25 Messages Transmitted Log Go Back Appoint A Special Prosecutor For Torture Now ********** [134053:063010] D.T., Saint Louis, MO I strongly urge the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to investigate claims of law-breaking by G. W. Bush Administration officials regarding assassinations and related matters. These allegations are serious and do rise to a minimum level of credibility which should trigger the appointment of such a Prosecutor. ********** [182015:060810] J.G., Grandville, MI Our Justice Department needs to act like a legitimate department of justice and prosecute to the fullest people like Cheney, Bush, and other principal members of the Bush administration. Joe Garcia ********** [103408:030110] D.C., Saint Petersburg, FL When rumors of torture were first brought up to the Bush Administration in the press, then, President Bush stated it was an isolated incident and vowed to get those that perpetrated war crimes. There is now strong evidence that these acts were directed/supported from the top. A special prosecutor must be assigned to investigate the "king pins" of these criminal activities. Cheney has confessed on TV for being aware and condoning war crime activities. It is time to hold him and his cohorts accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity otherwise they have made a complete mockery of our courts and system of governance. ********** [191216:010310] N.M., Chicago, IL When do we take our government back and seriously start holding people responsible for their actions? We need to prosecute war criminals!! What would be most embarrassing (altho better then doing nothing, as this White House is) is another country prosecuting Dick Deferment Cheney. I know he'll pay one way or another. ********** [162715:101909] D.A., Battle Creek, MI We need to make a strong statement that people at the peak of power are accountable for their actions. Bush, Cheney and their accomplices did a great deal of damage to our country by undermining the principles and laws that make this nation great. ********** [085956:092409] E.K., Summit, AR Why should anyone be above the law? When people commit abuse of any kind, it should receive the appropriate punishment. No one should be allowed to trample on another person for any reason. No matter if the perpetrator is a "high" official or a lowly "peon". Torture of human or animal should not be allowed and should be punished. I believe that murder is wrong no matter who commits it or orders it committed. ********** [071936:092209] N.P., Ogema, WI As a retired military officer who flew missions over Vietnam, and who had friends who were tortured in the POW camps I have strong feelings about the evilness of torture. We need to prosecute those who ordered the torture of people in the Iraqi war, we cannot allow those crimes to be unpunished. President Bush as Commander in Chief and Vice President Cheney as the mastermind behind it are the most culpable. ********** [062610:091509] C.V., Mount Holly, NJ Excuses keep being made for the psychotic behavior of Bush and his cronies. They played a numbers game and it worked! They can throw out phrases like "we are at war, and "fog of war" to justify their criminal orders for profit of their friends. This couldn't happen any time earlier because World War II veterans would vocally remind US what those phrases really mean. The conspiracy was going full-throttle in the '90s, banking on a GOP win in 2000. They knew the WWII vets didn't like talking about the many terrible things they personally did to keep the world free and by the millenium, they'd be dying off at 1000/wk. These noob warcrafters dishonor the warriors who precede them as well as the warriors sent to do despicable acts because they were told it would keep US safe, and those who now serve with a bulls-eye collectively placed upon them by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Feith and of the cabal both known and unknown. ********** [192000:090809] K.Z., Canton, OH With all due respect, Let us please cut to the chase and find out exactly what was ordered in the way of torture by commanding officers during the war in Iraq. The veil of secrecy needs to be drawn back. The American people have the right to know if laws were broken by high ranking officials in the U.S. military. Let an impartial investigation go where it needs to in order to find the truth so justice can be served. Please do not let AG Eric Holder limit investigations to only the lowest ranking positions involved. Where is the accountability in our military? ********** [192404:090709] J.M., Tempe, AZ We are, ostensibly, a nation of laws in spite of the fact they have been terribly compromised over the past eight years, in particular. We must pursue the exercise of the laws and monitor whether they hae been obeyed and if not, then pursue appropriate action within the law. ********** [194249:090409] R.D., Longview, WA It's time we demonstrated that we are indeed a nation of laws! ********** [103935:090209] R.S., Centereach, NY I read that you would be a fair and objective Attorney General. Prove that we have come a long way from when Mitchell was the AG. He had to go to jail. ********** [080658:082409] m.W., Cobden, IL It is time that our 'axis of evil' come out and face the light of day and pay for their lies, crimes , torchure, brutality, deceit, murder. unprovoked wars, misuse of power, abuse of procurement and sole source contracts, stealing of Iraq treasusry, and artifacts and diverting forever the Iraq oil into their partners' hands, false flag 911 operations and other black ops illegal dope operaations. ********** [115140:082109] P.R., Cloverdale, CA The recent news that Dick Cheney directed the CIA to use Blackwater assassination squads to target Al Quaida, and tried to cover it up, means that you can wait no longer. A special prosecutor must be appointed to examine the underside of every rock in the Bush regime. ********** [161548:082009] S.H., Tijeras, NM The only way to hold rogue governments accountable is to hold the leaders accountable as we did with Noriega, Hitler, etc. Bush and his cronies have done more damage to America than either of the aforementioned! Stop this crap and prosecute. ********** [102901:082009] D.K., Panorama City, CA Our country's standing in Western Europe is at an all-time low, we must appoint a special prosecutor to investigate torture now! ********** [072124:082009] l.v., Boynton Beach, FL support holden appointed special prosecutor to investigate torture. ********** [161825:081809] B.N., Manhasset, NY No American, including our elected officials, are above the law! ********** [110714:081809] M.K., Columbus, OH How can we hope to stand as a beacon of justice and liberty when we allow the wealthy and powerful to live above and beyond the law? These people are criminals and deserve to be treated as such! Fortunately for them we have laws forbidding torture, not that they ever noticed! ********** [065623:081809] M.U., Madison, WI It's pretty difficult to be respectful and say tasteful things when we're dealing with very crminial men like Cheney and the Bush family. But it's time to hold those creeps accountable for their torture actions, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. These guys were involved in 9-11 too. I hope that comes to light real soon. ********** [124656:081609] D.B., Minneapolis, MN It has come to the attention of the American people that Dick Cheney and George Bush were instrumental in devising a torture policy that defies our very constitution in our names. It is crucial that they be investigated by a special prosecutor and if proven to have broken our laws, be punished appropriately. If we sweep this under the rug, we shouldn't call our government a democracy. I believe that war crimes were committed by these people and they need to account for them. Let us have the courage to investigate this immediately. ********** [072534:081609] B.Q., Honolulu, HI Please don't let the Republicans and corporate media sway you against single payer. Corporate media needs republican policies to continue its expansion, and the republicans need to have health reform fail so they can have an advantage in the next election cycle. But the American people deserve to be treated as well as citizens of other countries when it comes to their healthcare needs. Single payer health care is the only way to accomplish that. ********** [132505:081509] K.W., Spokane, WA The Bush/Cheney Administration has been shown to have violated our Constitution, the Geneva Convention, and other local/international laws with it's program of torture and wiretapping. When are they going to be held accountable? When are we going to show the rest of the international community that their actions don't represent the values of the American citizen anymore than the actions of Sadam Hussein reflected the values of the Iraqi people? What we have is Implied Consent - by not prosecuting them for their crimes we are in effect implying that as a nation we consented to their actions and supported their program of torture. If we are known as a Nation that supports torture and abuse, then that is the way other countries will view and treat us - as a Nation of bullies. ********** [154521:081309] G.F., Farmington, MI I write to urge you in the strongest possible terms to appoint a Special Prosecutor to investigate the entire chain of command involving in our government, military, or any secret service agency in committing torture. This war crime is so abhorrent it cannot be left unprosecuted. Most sincerely yours and thanks for your time. ********** [091334:081309] J.M., White Plains, NY If we are a nantion of laws we hold the rich and powerful to the same standards as the poor and week! What kind of a nation are we. I fear the answer yet I think I know it. SHAME! ********** Go Back
