Who Will Stop The Torture Update-15

Italian judge orders 26 United States citizens, most CIA officers alleged to have participated in the illegal rendition of Egyptian cleric Osama Mustafa Hassan from Milan, Italy in 2003, to stand trial.

Those authorizing or participating in the Bush administration's illegal rendition program must be held fully and completely accountable.¹

To this end those United States citizens ordered to stand trial in Italy must do so, unless, acceptable arrangements are made for them to be held fully and completely accountable in an alternative forum.

1. In order to hold those who may have engaged in the torture of rendered persons accountable, portions of the The Military Commissions Act 2006 (aka In Torture We Trust Act of 2006 and America The Torturer Act of 2006) have to be repealed.

We need to repeal the entire America The Torturer Act of 2006. It is a poorly thought out response which sacrifices our well thought out standards of justice in the name of Ashcroft and Bush expediency.
