Amendment 1157, entitled the Censorship of Photographs of Future Torture Amendment. Call your Rep
We need to be calling our Senators and Reps to vote against this amendment. We don't need more secrecy, or injustice.
Would any member of the U.S. Senate confront President Obama about his actions to conceal photographs of torture by the U.S. military? The Senate passed S. Amdt. 1157 to H.R. 2346, a bill that provides supplementary military spending for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Amendment 1157, entitled the Censorship of Photographs of Future Torture Amendment and creates a loophole in the Freedom of Information Act. With this loophole, the Secretary of Defense is granted the power to conceal photographs of any torture of prisoners whether those photographs were taken in the past, or will be taken in the future.
