Urgent Action Needed for Leonard Peltier

This week -- writing in support of the plan by the Judiciary Committee
of the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate the misuse of
informants by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) -- the Peltier attorneys
submitted a position paper and a formal request to Congress proposing that they
complete the work undertaken by the Church Committee in the 1970s. This would
include investigation of the FBI's misuse of not only informants, but agent
provocateurs against the American Indian Movement (AIM); the Bureau's role in the
"Reign of Terror" at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from 1973-1976; and official
misconduct against AIM, in general, and in the case against Leonard
Peltier, in particular.

"These white people think this country belongs to them -
they don't realize that they are only in charge right now
because there's more of them than there are of us. The
whole country changed with only a handful of raggedly-ass
pilgrims that came over here in the 1500s. And it can take
a handful of raggedy-ass Indians to do the same,
and I intend to be one of those raggedy-ass Indians."
