Wednesday, September 23 will be a whole day of action and art, and you are invited. If you've been watching the Fire, Disbar, and Prosecute John Yoo campaign, cheering it on, however, not yet coming out to publicly join in -- get ready to change that this Wednesday.
It's time to lift this movement to a new level. New evidence keeps pouring out, proving that the legalization and institutionalization of torture was planned, designed, approved, and put into practice on orders from the highest levels of the American government.
The crimes of a torture state that were so heinous under Bush/Cheney are still equally wrong under Obama. In the name of humanity, the torture and all that goes with it must be halted and repudiated, and those criminals responsible must be brought to justice.
The world can't wait.
