Brigadier General James Cullen (Ret), among 12 retired Admirals and Generals who Monday, Jan 3, 2005 released a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee urging Members to closely examine Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales role in setting U.S. policy on torture. Mr. Gonzales confirmation hearings begin January 6, 2005. Cullen last served as the Chief Judge of the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals. He currently practices law in New York City.

Why isn't this letter being extensively reported by the MSM!?! These people are NOT wild-eyed leftists. Is the MSM that controlled by our Executive Branch?
BTW sodium pentathol (sp?) (so called "truth serum") is a pathetic way to glean VALID information. The propaganda Re: torture works ... use it profusely is nauseating and flatly WRONG.
On Edit: Below is the Transcript of Brig Gen (Ret) Cullen's interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. Damn! It's sad that the only media outlet that is not afraid to report "the truth" is the left wing media. The mainstream will not pay attention but I believe Dem Now was Cullen's ONLY HOPE. That sucks pondwater for the continuation of our Democratic republic.
