Ex-Officers who wrote letter against Gonzales: Where's the letter?
Edited on Tue Jan-04-05 08:52 PM by Sparkly
A dozen retired generals and admirals, including Army Gen. John M. Shalikashvili, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Clinton (news - web sites), said they had "deep concern" about the nomination.

They urged senators to question Gonzales aggressively about whether he now believes that torture may be used in some instances and whether anti-torture laws and treaties like the Geneva Conventions apply to anyone captured by U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

2. Good question, Sparkly!
Keep hearing about this letter, but don't get to read it.

I'd also like to see who signed.
