A.G. Holder: Appoint a Prosecutor

from True Majority

Did you see the news? The CIA just ended a secret program created and overseen by Dick Cheney that might have been designed to assassinate people deemed a threat to the United States. But we're just hearing about it because Cheney and others kept the project a secret from Congress, the public and the Justice department. It's scary to think that about Cheney using his position with the Bush administration to torture, wiretap and break a number of US laws in pursuit of his personal interpretation of national security. But only an independent prosecutor appointed by the Attorney General, can investigate crimes committed by the Bush administration and bring Cheney to justice - and the Obama team is under intense pressure just to look the other way. Email Attorney General Eric Holder and urge him to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate torture and other crimes committed by the Bush administration. Please do it now.
