Comment from Sally Regenhard, of 9/11 Families & Friends for Norman Siegel. . . .

"Over three years ago we all experienced an unspeakable tragedy. At the Public Advocate's office we were met with silence. While we tried to deal with our shock, grief and unanswered questions, one of our most important advocates has been attorney Norman Siegel."

MESSAGE FROM THE PEOPLES EMAIL NETWORK ['THE PEN'] -- TELL CONGRESS THE PRESIDENT HAS NO RIGHT OF TORTURE
There is a strong bipartisan move afoot in Congress to limit the power of the president to torture detainees in our name, specifically to bar the U.S. Military from engaging in "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment". Does it surprise anyone that this out of control administration is threatening to VETO the whole defense bill if it can't continue to commit war crimes? If we do not speak out they are our crimes as well. Why don't you tell your members of Congress to stand tall and stand together? http://www.usalone.com/guantanamo.htm

This is especially meaningful in the context of the hearings Friday where seasoned intelligence operatives stepped forward to testify that GOOD intelligence comes from building relationships over decades with foreign sources on a TRUST basis, not by pulling off the people's fingernails. It is precisely our confidence in our intelligence community that the outing by administration officials of one of our own top secret undercover agents has so wantonly destroyed for petty political purposes. And they did it AGAIN by outing a key inside source whose information would have prevented the recent British transit attacks. We are getting bad intelligence from administration policies that are doing nothing but destroy our country and our respect in the civilized world. Please tell Congress to demand that the torture must STOP: http://www.usalone.com/guantanamo.htm
