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. Here is how it works, every Monday the Dog writes to one of the decision makers on the issue of torture accountability. You get involved (and increase the impact) by either cutting and pasting the letter over your own signature or just writing your own letter. 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 we are going to write to the Attorney General, as he is the single person that can really get the ball rolling with full-scale investigations. There will be copies to the President, the Speaker of the House, the Majority Leader of the Senate, Judiciary Chairs Leahy and Conyers and ranking Judiciary Committee Member Rep. Jerry Nadler.

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?

Happy Monday and welcome to the Dog’s letter writing campaign for accountability under the law for the apparent torture program of the Bush administration. The point of this effort is to keep the issue of accountability alive. We all know there are other critical issues, and the President and many in the Congress would rather deal with those than an issue that is going to be as divisive as this one.

Happy Monday and welcome to the Dog’s on-going letter writing campaign for torture accountability under the law. For those who have not seen this series before, the way it works is as follows; every Monday the Dog writes a letter to the decision makers urging them to follow through on accountability for the apparent Bush Administration torture program. You get involved by either using the letter as the starting place for one of your own, or cutting and pasting it over your signature and sending it off.

Most weeks the letter heads to the Attorney General, but the quest for accountability does not begin and end at the DOJ. Congress has a constitutional role of oversight which is also required if we are to make sure the United States does not drift to and fro on the issue of state sponsored torture. To this end, we will be writing Sen. Dianne Feinstein Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence this week. There will copies to the President, the AG, Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, Judiciary Chairs Conyers and Leahy and Rep. Jerry Nadler a senior member of the House Judiciary

Dear Senator Feinstein;

Happy Monday and welcome to the Dog’s letter writing campaign series. The object of this series is to keep the issue of accountability under the law for the apparent Bush Administration state sponsored torture program. For those who are new to this series here is how it works. On Mondays, the Dog writes a letter to the Attorney General and other decision makers urging them to follow the laws of our nation, fully investigate, and where appropriate evidence exists, prosecute those who conspired to torture, ordered torture and carried it out.

The way you get involved is to take the letter and either use it as the starting place for your own letter or to cut and paste it over your own name and send it off. The Dog provides all the e-mail addresses or links to contact the AG, the President, Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid, Judiciary Chairs Conyers and Leahy and Rep. Jerry Nadler, you just provide a few minutes of your time to keep this issue alive.

This week we write the Attorney General, with copies to all of the other decision makers. Below is the letter;

Happy Monday and welcome to the Weekly Torture Action Letter series! This is the Dog’s on-going letter writing campaign for accountability under the law for the Bush Administrations apparent state sponsored torture program. For those joining us for the first time the basic premise of this series is to write those who will make the decisions about full investigations of torture every Monday and urge them to follow their obligations under Federal law and International treaty obligations in regards to torture. The Dog writes a letter which you can cut and paste with your own signature, or use as a guide for your own letter. The Dog also provides the links to e-mail the decision makers, all you have to provide is a little time and effort.

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.

The Dog makes it as easy for you as he can, he writes a letter you can just cut and paste, adding your name at the bottom or use as a jumping off point for your own thoughts. The Dog also provides the e-mail addresses for the decision makers so all you have to do is act.

Happy Monday and welcome to the Dog’s on going letter writing campaign. This campaign is focused on getting full accountability, under the law, for the Bush Administrations state sponsored torture program. Here is how it works, every week the Dog writes a letter to one of the decision makers in this nation. He also carbon copies it to other major players. The whole point is to consistently urge the people with the power to do so to follow the laws of our nation and fully investigate the credible and evident conspiracy to commit torture as well as the actual commission of this crime. How you get involved is by either cutting and pasting the letter over your own signature or by using the Dog’s letter as the jumping off point for your own. In either case the Dog provides the links where you can e-mail your letters.

Happy Monday and welcome to the Weekly Torture Action Letter series. This is a letter writing campaign for torture accountability. The basic idea is every Monday (yeah, the Dog knows, it is Tuesday, but the hound had to do a Labor Day post out of solidarity) the Dog writes a letter to the nations decision makers urging them to take action towards full accountability for the illegal Bush Administration state sponsored torture program. The way you get involved is by either cutting and pasting the letter over your own signature or using the topic of the letter as the jumping off point for your own. In either case the Dog provides the links to make this as easy as possible. The whole point of this campaign is to make sure our leaders don’t get distracted and forget their duties under the law to investigate and prosecute any act of torture.
