president bush’s full-scale assault on human rights...


did you see it too or was i dreaming???

two days ago, president bush on national television defended cruel and humiliating treatment of detainees and proposed legislation that would legalize the sham military commissions that the supreme court recently repudiated in hamdan v. rumsfeld reaffirming fair trial standards for detainees in u.s. custody...

the u.s. president justified torture...again...

with this brazen move, president bush has launched an all-out assault on human rights and the rule of law..torture?...secret prisons?...unfair trials?...impunity for law breakers?...this is not the america i - we - believe in....the america we believe in does not use torture...the america we believe in would never hide people in secret prisons...the America we believe in leads the world on human rights...

president bush undermining the rule of law constitutes a crisis ... please act with the urgency and sense of purpose that President Bush's full-scale assault on human rights demands...

please support amnesty international today!

peace out <3
