Activists Demand "Special Prosecutor for Torture"

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.

Omg can't you liberals just calm down. Why do you love the terrorists so much? The Iraq war is not illegal it came about because Saddam Hussien did not live up to the agreement of the first Gulf war. And something you people forget is that Democrats voted for the war as well. Terrorists have to be dealt with harshly and if torturing those who use terror and torture themsleves in order for us to get information then so be it.
