The U.S. government cannot effectively promote the rule of law and basic human rights in its foreign policy unless its own actions reflect those principles. Thus, we repeat our call for a program to restore the rule of law, including the condemnation of torture, a commitment to adhere to the Geneva Conventions and international treaties generally, respect for human rights, and support for the United Nations' efforts in protecting human rights and promoting peace and security. With respect to Guantanamo Bay in particular, we believe that if the detention facility cannot be operated in accordance with U.S. and international law, it should be closed; the remaining detainees should either be charged and tried or released; and the use of torture should be permanently disavowed by the Bush administration.

The Importance of the Rule of Civil and Constitutional Law
"Should we "install" democracy
at the point of a gun? The so-called neo-colonialists at the helm
(neo-cons) have become traditional colonialists. Corporate conquest
and occupation is as dangerous as its imperial predecessors. It
may prove more insidious. Short term, it has moved our nation from
peace, prosperity, and security... to war, deficits, and chaos.
We can 'stay the course' of decline, deficits, disaster, and dishonor... or
we can demand accountability and responsibility."

A message from John Kerry
I've been hearing a lot of talk about what we're up against
i
Thurgood Marshall said it was racist, unfair to the poor & mentally retarded, and often ends in the murder of innocents
...at the white house....
Class war in America
"The poor suffer, the rich benefit, the middle class
is paying the bill,"
US media disinformation More Spin
Have you seen this Headline? Polling Suggests that Americans Love Torture
"In all, by a decisive margin of 53% to 42%, Americans
want Congress to impeach President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq.
That's quite a "progressive" wing. Bush's lies are
well
documented.
A majority of Americans
believe he
lied."
"Anyone who condones torture simultaneously rejects the
ideological values that define the United States.
Systematically depriving
people of their rights by electrocution, rape, or water-boarding contradicts
the principles of this country."
Editorial:
"It was a sad enough measure of how badly the Bush administration has
damaged its moral standing that the secretary
of state had to deny that the
president condones torture." .... It was even worse that she had a hard time
sounding credible when she did it."
How we get out of Iraq with Dignity
"Those who advocate “staying the course” or “internationalizing the war” are
digging deeper.
A real solution must
end the U.S. occupation. Then, we can talk peace."
"We're not talking about
frat party hijinks here. We're talking about torture, and in
some cases, we're talking about murder,"
Veterans For Common
Sense Executive Director Charles Sheehan-Miles said...
What lies beneath Israel's political ‘earthquake' this week?
"The
depiction of Sharon as a moderate, risking it all to salvage
the peace
process, along with his more progressive colleagues is a misguided, if not
an embarrassing inference, to say the least."
The people of Iraq want us to leave...
"This is not liberation. It is occupation, and we oppose it
absolutely. At the beginning of the 21st century, we thought we'd seen the
end of colonies, but now we're entering a new era of colonialization."
Staying the course not an option
"There is no longer any basis for the hope that a sustained American military occupation will stabilize Iraq."
A not so Swift tactic...Sliming a Vet
"The
President should finally find the courage to debate the real issue
instead of destroying anyone who speaks truth to power
as they see
it.
It's time for Americans to stand up, fight back, and make it clear it's
unacceptable to do this to any leader of any
party anywhere in our
country." John Kerry
Bush is pulling
another Nixon on us
"It took 36 years to confirm that Nixon lied. Do we have to wait another 36 years to find out whether the Bush administration lied to us too?"
Discussion: Decoding Bush Denials
"Mr. Bush
said last Friday that he welcomed debate, even in a time of war,
but that
"It is deeply irresponsible to rewrite the history of how that
war
began."
We agree, but it is Mr. Bush and his team who are rewriting
history."
"Will our Congress ever wake up ...?"
"The
US President made a dramatic entry onto an aircraft carrier to declare
victory in Iraq."
