This is the Torture Team
Evidence of the criminal activities of the Bush administration is exceedingly well documented – in memos, FOIA documents, congressional hearings, court documents, the testimony of victims, innumerable investigative news articles and books, and direct admissions by intelligence, military and former administration officials.

It is abundantly clear that officials at the very highest level were directly involved in illegal activities, including torture and war crimes. From Bush himself, to the National Security Council’s Principals Committee – Vice President Dick Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, CIA Director George Tenet, and Attorney General John Ashcroft – to the lawyers who created made-to-order (il)legal justifications for the Torture Program like Jay Bybee, Steven Bradbury, John Yoo and others, the Torture Team’s trail is well-marked.
Now is the time for us to be accountable to our democratic principles, our laws and our international obligations. Now is the time to investigate the Torture Team.
