Don’t let Cheney bully the Senate. Join the Center for Constitutional Rights in writing your senators to demand an independent investigation into abuse and torture of detainees by clicking here now.

This week, Senator Carl Levin introduced an important amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act calling for an independent investigation into allegations of abuse in U.S. custody. Modeled after the 9/11 Commission, this panel would ask the hard questions the Bush Administration has been dodging for the past year. Vice President Cheney has threatened to veto any bill that includes a call for an independent commission because the Bush Administration does not want their actions scrutinized by a truly independent body. They have repeatedly cleared themselves of any wrongdoing, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Tell your senators to stand up and hold the Bush Administration accountable. Write them by clicking here or copy and past this URL into your browser.

Since the beginning of the Bush Administration, CCR has been defending the victims of torture. From Abu Ghraib to Guantánamo Bay we were among the first to stand up and demand that the rule of law be followed. We have challenged the Bush Administration’s policy of obstruction and stonewalling the legal process and have taken the case of the Guantánamo detainees all the way to the Supreme Court, where we won.

2. Question.

Why do WE have to try to force Congress to stand up and do something about the torture? Where are THEIR ethics; THEIR morals?

And why do WE keep sending them back?
