Torture: "It's absolutely necessary [to investigate further]...

[Triana]

... not for the purpose of setting blame but to understand how it happened."
- Chief Counsel Frederick Schwarz, Brennan Center For Justice

PETITION to investigate torture. See it. Sign it:

Waterboarding. Slamming into walls. Excruciating physical positions. The United States tortured detainees after September 11, 2001. Make sure this does not happen again. Call on the President to create a non-partisan commission to investigate the torture and abuse of detainees. Help protect America’s national security and re-establish its standing in the world.

We call on the President of the United States to establish an independent, non-partisan commission to examine and report publicly on torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees in the period since September 11, 2001. The commission, comparable in stature to the 9/11 Commission, should look into the facts and circumstances of such abuses, report on lessons learned, and recommend measures that would prevent any future abuses. We believe that the commission is necessary to reaffirm America ’s commitment to the Constitution, international treaty obligations, and human rights. The report issued by the commission will strengthen U.S. national security and help to re-establish America’s standing in the world.

1. The findings would need to bring indictments, trials and

long jail sentences for the perps or they can forget any commission.
