hey, alberto gonzalez - WAKE UP!

i gotta tell ya that the mere idea of corporations profiting from their participation in torture turns my stomach lining inside out so at a very minimum i want to see people take action to make this unamerican activity stop...

more than two years ago, the us army released the fay/jones report, which confirmed that prisoners at abu ghraib had been brutally abused by interrogators and translators working for private companies contracted by the us government and military...

the report asked the attorney general to look into the cases of abuse – yet more than two years later, most of these cases remain untouched...victims and their relatives have had no access to justice, and private companies operating in zones of conflict are getting the message that torture is a part of business as usual...

Send a message to the US Attorney General asking him to investigate contractors who have been accused of killing, torturing and abusing people in Iraq and Afghanistan »
