[the letter needs a tiny bit of editing, ie, who you are since most of us are not "elected officials" from our communities; the CAPS below are how I edited it]:

I am writing to you as A CONCERNED CONSTITUENT, demanding that you carry out your constitutionally-mandated duty to hold high officials of government accountable for their illegal actions.  

Bush administration officials broke the law when they promoted a system of torture, secret prisons, and extraordinary renditions.

Like millions of other people in the United States, we insist that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and other high officials be indicted and prosecuted for their criminal actions.  

Such an action would send a clear message to former and future officials that no one is above the law.
IT WOULD PROVE TO ONE AND ALL THAT WE DO INDEED HAVE A DEMOCRACY.

Senate to Investigate CIA's Actions Under Bush


From the Los Angeles Times today:
"The Senate Intelligence Committee is preparing to launch an investigation of the CIA's detention and interrogation programs under President Bush, setting the stage for a sweeping examination of some of most secretive and controversial operations in recent agency history.

"The probe is aimed at uncovering new information on the origins of the programs as well as scrutinizing how they were executed -- from the conditions at clandestine CIA prison sites to the interrogation regimens used...

'The last administration justified torture, presided over the abuses at Abu Ghraib, destroyed tapes of harsh interrogations,' said Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), the chairman of [the Senate Judiciary] committee. "How can we restore our moral leadership and ensure transparent government if we ignore what has happened?'"

Demand action from Congress

We are urging all IndictBushNow members to send an email immediately to your elected officials (it only takes a second), telling them that Bush administration officials broke the law when they promoted a system of torture, secret prisons, and extraordinary renditions. Like millions of other people in the United States, we insist that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and other high officials be indicted and prosecuted for their criminal actions.
