Attorney General Eric Holder appointed an independent prosecutor to investigate torture. However, the very limited scope is nowhere near as thorough and broad as the investigation America really needs.
The recent release of the long-secret CIA Inspector General’s report, detailing horrific prisoner abuse, only reinforces the need for a full and thorough, independent investigation of the Bush torture program.
We need to make it clear that, while we’re pleased the Attorney General has launched an independent investigation, the limits he has set don’t meet the demands of justice. Urge Attorney General Holder to conduct a thorough examination of the Bush torture program.

Thanks, Neil. In the hubbub yesterday I forgot to sign onto this one. It’s an important effort by ACLU; they have been responsible for most of the progress against torture.
Thanks for your article Attorney General Holder: What Happened to KSM’s Children? Release All of Paragraph 95!. It’s one of the things I love about the lake and the emptywheel crew, we all pitch in.
“We need to make it clear that, while we’re pleased the Attorney General has launched an independent investigation, the limits he has set don’t meet the demands of justice.”
Pleased? Pleased? Not in the least! This is just a way to make us shut up by tossing us the corpses of a few England’s or Grainer’s. Those who ordered torture and murder will go free.
Massively corrupt country we live in…
The ACLU letter writing widget lets you make the letter exactly the way you want it. I hope you choose to write Holder. Thanks for your comment.
I did
