Respond to Torture


MoveOn.org is creating a petition to send to Mr. Bush requesting an impartial investigation into allegations of torture of Iraqis by Americans (who are in the military):

"Reports and photographs of Iraqi prisoners being tortured and abused by U.S. and British troops have shocked the world. They are also provoking a global backlash against the U.S., at the very moment when we most need the world's help to manage the mess in Iraq. We believe:

"To restore our good name, America must support an immediate, independent, impartial and public investigation into all allegations of torture in Iraq. The investigation must include representatives from Arab nations."

Join this call by sending an email with this message to the President and to your representatives in Congress.

Please go to the site and add your name to the list of supporters.
