From Patriot Watch:

On March 11th, the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights released a new report entitled “Imbalance of Powers.” The report outlines the steady erosion of human rights protections and civil liberties in the 18 months since the Sept. 11 attacks. One of the issues addressed in the report is the recent allegations in the news media that U.S. military officials are employing illegal interrogation techniques to elicit information from detainees in the U.S. and abroad. Some of these techniques include hooding and sleep deprivation and physical beatings. The Lawyers Committee has urged Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to address these allegations by making clear the unambiguous U.S. prohibition against all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment. Go here to take action.

Urge Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld to address these issues personally and publicly by making clear the unambiguous U.S. prohibition against all forms of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment.
