"THERE IS NO LONGER ANY DOUBT AS TO WHETHER THE CURRENT [BUSH] ADMINISTRATION HAS COMMITTED WAR CRIMES. THE ONLY QUESTION THAT REMAINS TO BE ANSWERED IS WHETHER THOSE WHO ORDERED THE USE OF TORTURE WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT." --- Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba (Ret.)

CITIZENS OF CONSCIENCE, it is unconscionable that George W. Bush, Richard Cheney and the other officials connected to the Bush White House that made up the "torture team" in the Bush administration should be permitted to get away with murder, torture and other war crimes that they approved, ordered, supervised and carried out during their eight years in office. Crimes of torture, criminal homicide of prisoners, the "extraordinary rendition" program and other atrocities constitute grave crimes. These violations of International and domestic law must be prosecuted. NOW IS THE TIME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY. The mechanism exists to hold these officials accountable for their criminal behavior and dissuade future government officials from engaging in torture, war crimes, warrantless surveillence of Americans, and other lawbreaking activities --criminal prosecution of those responsible.

According to a USA Today/Gallop Poll published in USA Today in February, nearly 40% of Americans favor criminal investigations of Bush officials for the torture policy, and another 25% favor non-criminal investigations.

CITIZENS OF CONSCIENCE, UNITE!!! DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. HORRIBLE ATROCITIES --GRAVE CRIMES-- WERE COMMITTED IN THE NAME OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND WITH OUR COMPLICITY. IT IS TIME TO HOLD OUR OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE.

WE'VE GOT THE BANNERS!!! WE'VE GOT THE POSTERS!!!! WE'VE GOT THE BROCHURES!!! ... ALL WE NEED NOW ARE THE CITIZENS OF CONSCIENCE TO COME OUT TO PROTEST AND DEMAND JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

We'll be rallying in Coolidge Corner, Brookline, Massachusetts every Saturday morning April 4 to May 30, 2009 from 10 am to 11:30 am. Please join us to DEMAND JUSTICE AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Also, please distribute our flyer (attached) far and wide to all your many Massachusetts constituencies and help us get the word out about this ongoing rally ON SATURDAY MORNINGS IN APRIL AND MAY IN BROOKLINE, MASSACHUSETTS.

JUDGE BALTASAR GARZON, the distinguished Spanish judge who ordered the arrest of the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, announced recently that it was "HIGHLY LIKELY" that his criminal investigation of former Bush officials for violating international law by the torture of prisoners would go forward and would lead to issuing of arrest warrants. LET'S JOIN IN SUPPORTING HIM AND URGING OUR STATE AND FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS TO DO THE SAME!
