Bye Bye Bybee: Impeach, Disbar, Prosecute Judge Jay Bybee

Thursday, May 28th 2009, 1 PM

Location: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, 95 7th Street (@ Mission), San Francisco

BART Station: SF Civic Center

Gather to call for the impeachment of Judge Jay Bybee, who was
given a lifetime appointment to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals by
George Bush after Bybee wrote legal memos saying that torture is legal
if the President orders it.

"These memos make it clear that Mr. Bybee is unfit for a job that
requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution. Congress
should impeach him." New York Times, April 18, 2009

As assistant attorney general in President George W. Bush's Justice
Department, he was responsible for the notorious torture memos that
enabled the excesses at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and other places. Bybee
should be impeached, disbarred and prosecuted as a war criminal. Over
100 detainees have died and thousands are going through hell because of
his unethical actions. If torture was carried out to establish a link
between Al Qaeda and Iraq, as evidence shows, he is also responsible
for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of human beings.
