Activists Demand a “Special Prosecutor for Torture”
from: William Hughes
On Thursday, June 25, 2009, a spirited rally was held in John Marshall Park, in Washington, D.C. Its purpose: To demand that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder appoint a “Special Prosecutor for Torture,” who will hold accountable to the supremacy of the Law, certain members of the Bush-Cheney Gang, including ex-President George W. Bush, Jr. and V.P. Dick Cheney. They are suspected of authorizing torture on numerous detainees, in violation of the Geneva Convention, International Law, the Nuremberg Principles and the U.S. Constitution. Featured in this video are excerpts of remarks from the following speakers: David Swanson, Njambi Good, Marjorie Cohn, Mara Verheyden-Hilliard and Kevin Zeese.
