IMPORTANT Petition from Wes Clark--PLEASE Sign!
Edited on Mon Oct-02-06 05:13 PM by Karenca
Dear Friend,

I urge you to join the effort to investigate the Bush
Administration's role in the prisoner abuse and humiliation that
has motivated our enemies in the war on terror and endangers the
well-being of our fighting forces.

Today, the reports of abuse and humiliation at detainment
facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Cuba are distracting the
world from focusing on winning the war on terror. Although the
military chain of command seems to have properly investigated
the role of its personnel and held accountable those in the
wrong, the civilian leadership in this country has failed to do
the same.

Sign the petition today: http://ga4.org/campaign/prisonerabuse

The laws of war are designed to regulate combat and to protect
non-combatants from the violence and degradation of war. The
conduct of this Administration may ultimately lead to a
green-light for our enemies to torture our soldiers when
captured -- we owe it to our men and women in uniform and their
families to investigate.

I urge you to sign the petition to hold hearings and investigate
the Bush Administration's role in the abuse and neglect of
detainees. For the sake of our international reputation, and for
the sake of our soldiers in the field, we can't afford to keep
silent.

7. gladly
Wes Clark gave a lecture today at UCLA about torture. I wish we could all see it. In fact, I wish America could hear and see a real patriot in action.
