ROAD TO ABU GHRAIB REVISITED; ACT NOW, STOP BUSH TORTURE PLAN
Sep 14, 2006
Focus: Human Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
The White House is calling on Congress to pass legislation that undermines the baseline protections for prisoners guaranteed by the Geneva Conventions - and undermines our nation's values.

Although not as visually shocking as the Abu Ghraib prison photos from Iraq, President Bush's speech last Wednesday tells the same horrifying story: The Bush administration is again fighting for the right to abuse detainees in U.S. custody.

If the White House succeeds, we will be inviting other nations to abuse our own troops, now and in future wars. The administration is willing to risk the lives of our soldiers - and further tarnish our reputation - so that it can engage in cruel and inhuman treatment.

TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT THE PRESIDENT'S MISGUIDED PROPOSAL ON THE TREATMENT OF DETAINEES IN U.S. CUSTODY - SIGN THIS PETITION TODAY!
PLEASE PASS THIS PETITION ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND GROUPS -- THIS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE FOR THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY.
