Minnesotan leads torture protest in D.C.

[elleng]

The leader of the Minnesota Council of Churches and other church leaders urged Obama to investigate recent abuses and "promise the world ... that we will not do this again."

Kneeling on wet grass in front of the White House on Thursday, flanked by two hooded men draped in the orange garb of Guantanamo Bay detainees, the Rev. Peg Chemberlin bowed her head in silence.

The executive director of the Minnesota Council of Churches, who will soon become one of the most influential religious leaders in the country, was in Washington looking for answers about America's involvement in torture. And alongside dozens of religious colleagues from across the country, she called on the Obama administration to form a commission of inquiry to investigate past offenses.
. .

After praying on Pennsylvania Avenue, Chemberlin and a delegation of religious leaders from different faiths and denominations met with senior administration officials in the White House.
