Happy Monday. Welcome to the Dog’s letter writing campaign for torture accountability. This campaign is designed to keep the issue of accountability under the law for the Bush administrations torture program alive.

The Dog even provides e-mail links so you can cc the letter to all the decision makers.

This week we are back to writing the Attorney General, as he has the final say as to whether comprehensive investigations will accrue or not.

Dear Attorney General Holder:

I write you once again to urge your action on the issue of the Bush Administration’s apparent torture program. The legal reasons why you should act are clear. Torture is both a Federal and International crime. Under the International Conventions Against Torture, any signatory has the obligation to investigate every credible allegation of torture.

Happy Monday and welcome to the Dog’s on-going campaign for torture accountability. The purpose of this series is to keep the issue of accountability under the law for torture alive. To do this every Monday the Dog writes a letter to one of the decision to makers who could move the issue of torture accountability forward. You get involved by sending your own letter, you can use the one the Dog writes, just pasted over your signature, or you can write your own. The point is to have some notice given that not everyone has forgotten about the issue of torture war crimes in the glare of HCR and the new season of American Idol.

This week’s letter:

Dear Attorney General Holder;

I write you this week to ask a simple question; doesn’t it make you angry that you are being made a patsy by war criminals?

The Dog knows that today will mostly be consumed with the Massachusetts Senate special election, but there are things going on in the realm of the Bush administrations war crimes that need to be discussed. Yesterday Scott Horton of Harper's magazine published some new reporting on the June 9th 2006 “suicides” at Guantanamo Bay which highlights the need for the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to fully investigate the detention and torture of prisoners.

The point of this series it to keep the issue of accountability under the law for the state sponsored torture program of the Bush Administration alive and moving forward.

Happy Monday and welcome to the Dog’s on-going letter writing campaign for accountability under the law for the apparent Bush Administration state sponsored torture program. The Dog has been away from this for a couple of weeks due to his Mom having surgery and still being in the hospital. Somehow that really whacked the Dog’s ability to write anything coherent (some would say this is a normal state of affairs, but they are just meanies!) In any case it is time to get going again on keeping the issue of accountability alive. The idea of this series is to write a letter to the decision makers of our country every Monday reminding them of their responsibility both morally and under US and International law to fully investigate and where evidence exists prosecute any credible allegation of torture.
