We need to stop the torture now and punish those who ordered it. America should lead by example, not lowering our standards and become uncivil or medieval.

What IS this? The Office of Attorney General brain-dead? Lest such ignoring embolds future unconstitutional misdeeds, kindly prevail upon it to do what is right, once and for all. Much too much precious time has been wasted. We The People demand it. No wonder the suicide rate among our GIs in the Middle East is rising! The Obama administration was installed in January 2008, nearly 3-1/2 years ago. Thank you.

The evidence of torture perpetrated by the US is overwhelming. It is imperative for our nation to understand what happened, who ordered it to happen and/or who turned a blind eye allowing it to happen, and to prosecute the decision makers (not just some private that was following orders). With out an inquiry with full subpoena power and imprisonment consequences for not responding, can the American people understand what happened and how to prevent it happening in the future. For the good of our country it is absolutely necessary to appoint special prosecutor with full subpoena to fully trace the torture trail.

It's shocking that Amerca would routinely torture and mistreat prisoner, but even more shocking that we wouldn't investigate such crimes if they were committed by Americans. There's probably no better mechnism for this than a special prosecutor with supboena powers.

If they ordered it we should know.


If they did order it then I think I get how come people around the world don't like us or want to vote with us in the UN or even fill justified to join with people who would do us harm.


I fill they would not. Could not order torture. Though a trail would certainly clear them if they are Innocent. If the US has proof then bring it on. Send out the Federal Marshals to round them up.

I strongly urge the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to investigate claims of law-breaking by G. W. Bush Administration officials regarding assassinations and related matters. These allegations are serious and do rise to a minimum level of credibility which should trigger the appointment of such a Prosecutor.

Our Justice Department needs to act like a legitimate department of justice and prosecute to the fullest people like Cheney, Bush, and other principal members of the Bush administration.

When rumors of torture were first brought up to the Bush Administration in the press, then, President Bush stated it was an isolated incident and vowed to get those that perpetrated war crimes. There is now strong evidence that these acts were directed/supported from the top. A special prosecutor must be assigned to investigate the "king pins" of these criminal activities. Cheney has confessed on TV for being aware and condoning war crime activities. It is time to hold him and his cohorts accountable for war crimes and crimes against humanity otherwise they have made a complete mockery of our courts and system of governance.

and congress wonders why it's approval is so low.

When do we take our government back and seriously start holding people responsible for their actions?

We need to prosecute war criminals!! What would be most embarrassing (altho better then doing nothing, as this White House is) is another country prosecuting Dick Deferment Cheney.

I know he'll pay one way or another.

Torture should never have been legalized in the U.S.

"No Amnesty for Torturers", Torture investigation sought

We need to make a strong statement that people at the peak of power are accountable for their actions. Bush, Cheney and their accomplices did a great deal of damage to our country by undermining the principles and laws that make this nation great.

I want rule of law to prevail. Investigate torture.

Why should anyone be above the law? When people commit abuse of any kind, it should receive the appropriate punishment. No one should be allowed to trample on another person for any reason. No matter if the perpetrator is a "high" official or a lowly "peon". Torture of human or animal should not be allowed and should be punished. I believe that murder is wrong no matter who commits it or orders it committed.

As a retired military officer who flew missions over Vietnam, and who had friends who were tortured in the POW camps I have strong feelings about the evilness of torture. We need to prosecute those who ordered the torture of people in the Iraqi war, we cannot allow those crimes to be unpunished. President Bush as Commander in Chief and Vice President Cheney as the mastermind behind it are the most culpable.

Excuses keep being made for the psychotic behavior of Bush and his cronies. They played a numbers game and it worked! They can throw out phrases like "we are at war, and "fog of war" to justify their criminal orders for profit of their friends. This couldn't happen any time earlier because World War II veterans would vocally remind US what those phrases really mean. The conspiracy was going full-throttle in the '90s, banking on a GOP win in 2000. They knew the WWII vets didn't like talking about the many terrible things they personally did to keep the world free and by the millenium, they'd be dying off at 1000/wk. These noob warcrafters dishonor the warriors who precede them as well as the warriors sent to do despicable acts because they were told it would keep US safe, and those who now serve with a bulls-eye collectively placed upon them by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, Feith and of the cabal both known and unknown.

With all due respect,
Let us please cut to the chase and find out exactly what was ordered in the way of torture by commanding officers during the war in Iraq. The veil of secrecy needs to be drawn back. The American people have the right to know if laws were broken by high ranking officials in the U.S. military. Let an impartial investigation go where it needs to in order to find the truth so justice can be served. Please do not let AG Eric Holder limit investigations to only the lowest ranking positions involved. Where is the accountability in our military?

We are, ostensibly, a nation of laws in spite of the fact they have been terribly compromised over the past eight years, in particular. We must pursue the exercise of the laws and monitor whether they hae been obeyed and if not, then pursue appropriate action within the law.

I read that you would be a fair and objective Attorney General. Prove that we have come a long way from when Mitchell was the AG. He had to go to jail.

It is time that our 'axis of evil' come out and face the light of day and pay for their lies, crimes , torchure, brutality, deceit, murder. unprovoked wars, misuse of power, abuse of procurement and sole source contracts, stealing of Iraq treasusry, and artifacts and diverting forever the Iraq oil into their partners' hands, false flag 911 operations and other black ops illegal dope operaations.

The recent news that Dick Cheney directed the CIA to use Blackwater assassination squads to target Al Quaida, and tried to cover it up, means that you can wait no longer. A special prosecutor must be appointed to examine the underside of every rock in the Bush regime.

The only way to hold rogue governments accountable is to hold the leaders accountable as we did with Noriega, Hitler, etc. Bush and his cronies have done more damage to America than either of the aforementioned! Stop this crap and prosecute.
