i'm pretty sure that you like a nice, intimate party at your or a close friend's home...there's no pressure to be someone you're not, the conversation is comfortable, and a little wine helps most people there unwind a notch...
and if you're reading this i'm pretty sure you oppose the use of torture if for no other reason that it's an unreliable method of obtaining accurate information...
so why don't you combine the two of these factoids and throw an anti-torture party...
"If there were no photographs, there would be no Abu Ghraib," a guard stationed at the infamous detention facility commented...so yeah, that's right, that's what i said, host a "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib" house party...
images are the only evidence for an american conscience that the unimaginable horrors of abu ghraib were real...so i ask you to join me in hosting a "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib" house party as november's "86 days" campaign action and help educate your community about this tragic truth...
through extensive interviews and documentation, "Ghosts of Abu Graib" demonstrates that the president and his senior advisors are responsible for the abuses at the prison...
when congress passed the military commissions act one year ago, the u.s. abandoned its core founding principles...the administration continues to give a green light to policies that place guilt before innocence, imprisonment without charge, and fear above all else...when a government sanctions the use of torture tactics, it disposes of justice and the rule of law, and thereby, discards our freedom...
so join with with me and other amnesty international advocates in new ways each month to call attention to these violations as a part of our "86 days" campaign...invite your neighbors and help educate your community by hosting a special screening of the documentary "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib"...witness how poor policies against the "war on terror" breed tragedies like the human rights abuses at abu ghraib...
images shouldn't be the only proof of abu ghraib's existence...our conscience reminds us that abu graib exists when the principals of decency and democracy do not...
peace out <3
