Why Obama MUST prosecute torture.
"I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture..."

- George W. Bush, June 2003

1. He'll never do it. He has been defending and covering for
the torturers. He should be ashamed.

I know I am.

4. Well
One of the reasons given for taking out Saddam was that he tortured people.

Methinks that was what GWB was referring too.

Let the trial begin.

5. I see it as a national disgrace
I am unaware of anyone that still denies we tortured yet... we do not prosecute those that authorized it, even though they admit to it. It is disgusting. Every week when I email President Obama I stress the importance of our prosecuting this crime. We have the evidence, we have the admission, we need the trial and imprisonment of the guilty, bush, cheney, all the way down the line.
