The Bush Homicide Administration
Why stop at torture, go for charges of homicide.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-05-05/how-many-were-tortured-to-death/full/
For five years as a researcher for Human Rights Watch and reporter, John Sifton helped investigate homicides resulting from the Bush administration's torture policy. His findings include:

• An estimated 100 detainees have died during interrogations, some who were clearly tortured to death.

• The Bush Justice Department failed to investigate and prosecute alleged murders even when the CIA inspector general referred a case.

• Sifton’s request for specific information on cases was rebuffed by the Bush Justice Department, though it was “familiar with the cases.”

• Attorney General Eric Holder must now decide whether to investigate and prosecute homicides, not just cases of torture.


Become aquatinted with the murder of the Afghani Taxi driver Dilawar. Use that murder in letters to the editor. His murder was quite foul. They continued beating him even after they were aware of his innocence. Jane Mayer's book is a very good resource. Start speaking out for justice.
