Send Evidence of Torture to the DOJ

We can't sweep the abuses of the last eight years under the rug. Accountability for torture is a legal, political, and moral imperative. We've uncovered thousands of documents through our Torture FOIA and with mounting evidence must come mounting pressure to appoint an Independent Prosecutor to investigate systematic torture.

http://www.aclu.org/accountability/action.html

The evidence of the Bush administration’s illegal torture program continues to mount. And today, we’re seeking your help to get that evidence in front of Attorney General Eric Holder.

You can help submit evidence and demand accountability by using our new Accountability for Torture action center.

At this comprehensive and resource-filled new site, you can also view videos that make a powerful case for accountability…see profiles of the main architects of the Bush torture program…and use a search engine to examine the mountains of evidence the ACLU has obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation.

Click here to visit our new action center where you can submit evidence to Attorney General Holder.

Just today, the ACLU submitted another FOIA request seeking additional evidence of high-ranking involvement in the Bush administration’s torture program. We've already uncovered thousands of documents through our torture FOIA, and with mounting evidence must come mounting pressure to appoint an independent prosecutor to investigate systematic torture.

In America, no one is above the law -- and when crimes have been committed, our legal system demands accountability. That’s why tens of thousands of ACLU supporters have already demanded this critical investigation. But Attorney General Holder has yet to act. So, we must keep the pressure on.

Starting today, we’re asking people all across the country to deluge the Justice Department with more and more evidence that an independent investigation is fully warranted.

Visit our action center and urge Attorney General Holder to launch an independent investigation of the Bush torture program now.

You’ve helped the ACLU uncover critical pieces of evidence already. And, in the weeks ahead, we expect much more to be revealed. Together, we must use this compelling evidence to create mounting pressure for a full and independent investigation.

Thank you for standing with us.

Sincerely,

Anthony D. Romero
