Then I will share this with you I received from the American Freedom Campaign:
Dear (mmonk),
As you know, the American Freedom Campaign has long argued that Bush administration officials should be held accountable for their involvement in the development and implementation of a program of torture in the years following 9/11. In that spirit, we are pleased to pass along this alert from our friends at the Bill of Rights Defense Committee.
They are encouraging all members of the public and individuals in some specific occupations to sign letters to Attorney General Eric Holder and the Senate Intelligence Committee, demanding accountability.
I encourage you to click on the appropriate link below and add your name to this call.
Best,
Steve

Sign on for torture accountability!
The Attorney General's reluctance to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate potential crimes by former officials involved in torturing detainees is endangering our nation's fundamental values and our credibility as a worldwide human rights leader.
Take a stand today by signing BORDC's letter to Attorney General Eric Holder and the Senate Intelligence Committee demanding accountability for torture. We will be sending a series of letters, including some on behalf of individuals practicing particular professions, reflecting the unique challenges they face.
