Coalition pushes awareness on torture

<snip> "Torture is being done with tax dollars in our (Americans) name," insisted Jennifer Harbury, a lawyer and the director of the Massachusetts-based Stop Torture Permanently Campaign, or STOP. <snip>

The Rockland Coalition has helped arrange for Harbury to speak next Sunday at The First Unitarian Society of Rockland County, in Pomona.

In a recent interview, Harbury said the United States has a deplorable track record on torture on foreign soil. She said Americans could make a difference.

"The citizens have to unite and send a clear message to both Republicans and Democrats in Congress that we cannot condone torture," said Harbury, author of "Searching for Everado: A Story of Love, War, and the CIA in Guatemala." <snip>
