"Our Himmlers, Eichmanns Unscathed as Obama Dithers: Why
Is He Afraid of the Torturers?"
Featuring Ray McGovern
"I don't want my grandchildren, of whom I have six now,
coming up to me when they're old enough and saying,
'Grandpa, you worked for the CIA. What was it like torturing
people?' I would say I didn't torture people, and they would say
as the German kids say to their parents, 'What did you do to
stop it?'"
Ray McGovern was a CIA analyst for 27 years. He returned his CIA "Intelligence Commendation Award" medallion in 2006 saying "I do not wish to be associated with torture". He cofounded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and works with "Tell the Word", the publishing arm of the
ecumenical Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC.
Plus: Jon Eisenberg, the lawyer representing the plaintiffs in the famous warrantless wiretapping case Al-Haramain v. Bush.
"I wonder whether Bybee feels guilty before God. He certainly has no business being a federal judge. His presence on the
Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals brings disgrace to that court. He should resign." Jon Eisenberg in the SF Recorder
Updates on torture accountability campaigns: SF National Lawyers Guild Committee Against Torture, Amnesty International, CODEPINK, PDA, Veterans for Peace.
Music: Carrie Gerendasy; "her singing is topical, relevant, downright gorgeous"
