"The public interest demands we determine who is ultimately responsible for these abuses." 'WAR CRIMES'
51 House members call on Gonzales to appoint special counsel on alleged U.S. 'war crimes'
Congressman John Conyers will be issuing a letter cosigned by roughly 50 House members calling for a special prosecutor to investigate claims that the U.S. has violated the War Crimes Act at secret detention facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
The following letter will be issued shortly.

May 12, 2005
The Honorable Alberto R. Gonzales
Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
We are writing to request that you appoint a special counsel to investigate whether high-ranking officials within the Bush Administration violated the War Crimes Act, 18 U.S.C. 2441, or the Anti-Torture Act, 18 U.S.C. 2340 by allowing the use of torture techniques banned by domestic and international law at recognized and secret detention sites in Iraq, Afghanistan Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere.
One year and 10 investigations after we first learned about the atrocities committed at Abu Ghraib, there has yet to be a comprehensive, neutral and objective investigation with prosecutorial authority of who is ultimately responsible for the abuses there and elsewhere. While more than 130 low-ranking officers and enlisted soldiers have been disciplined or face courts-martial for the abuses that occurred, there have been no criminal charges against high-ranking officials. Yet the pattern of abuse across several countries did not result from the acts of individual soldiers who broke the rules. It resulted from decisions made by senior U.S. officials to bend, ignore, or cast rules aside. If the United States is to wipe away the stain of Abu Ghraib, it needs to investigate those at the top who ordered or condoned torture. As a result, it is in our interest to finally show the world that we are taking these matters seriously and resolving them free of political taint.

The following letter (reproduced here in a slightly edited form for brevity) is being sent by a group called 9/11 Truth Action to the 89 Congress people who recently wrote to President Bush about Iraq. The Congress people demanded that the president explain why he "fixed" the Iraqi intelligence in order to rationalize the invasion of Iraq.
After you read the letter, and view the video and link referenced in the letter, write congress yourself to give a piece of your mind!
George
Dear Representative:
Thank you for your letter, co-signed with 88 other Congress people, calling on George Bush to answer questions about the secret U.S.-UK agreement to attack Iraq. ........
