1. Letter to Congress from Veterans re: Investigating Abuse
Please ck out www.veteransforcommonsense.org

link to letter, demanding independent investigation of prisoner/detainee abuse. If You feel led to do so, please add YOUR name,see what other actions & info avail. on this site.These guys are an awesome advocacy group for Vets & Military.
I'm personally insulted that NO one above staff sgt has been tried(scapegoated)when the policy came from highest levels, implemented by un-named mercenary contractors with NO oversite.
I will not be satisfied till IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS begin.
