Chain of command, and why it needs to be broken now and again....
http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/index.cfm?Page=Article&ID=5033

When Captain Ian Fishback went to his chain of command in Iraq to report abuse of prisoners, the decorated West-Point graduate did not receive the response he expected. Brushed aside by the Army for 17 months in his efforts to ensure effective standards on the treatment of prisoners, Captain Fishback finally went outside the chain of command – to the offices of Senators John Warner (R-Virginia) and John McCain (R-Arizona), and finally he and some of his sergeants provided detailed testimony to Human Rights Watch for a report which they issued two weeks ago.

Please take action today against torture.

1. Veterans against Torture....
Who would have thought it would have to come to this?

In the House... which representatives are spearheading the anti-torture language in the Defense bill? Do they have a Republican sponsor to whom we can refer OUR representatives?

(mine is that POS Peter King....Think we can convince him to vote against torture?)
