Call on the Justice Department to Appoint a Special Prosecutor for Bush Tortures

The Justice Department -- in response to an ACLU lawsuit -- just released four key memos about the Bush administration's illegal torture program. Read the memos here.

These memos supplied the framework for an illegal interrogation program that permitted the most barbaric forms of abuse, violated domestic and international law, alienated America's allies and yielded information that was both unreliable and unusable in court.

Exposing the truth is only the first step. The content of these memos makes it more clear than ever that we must fully investigate the immoral and illegal actions that were carried out against detainees in the so-called "war on terror."

Stand with the ACLU. Ask Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint  an independent prosecutor to investigate the interrogation of detainees in the war on terror.
