torture

Make the Bush administration accountable for violating constitutional rights of prisoners and "suspected terrorists" in Guantanamo and other prisons!! As well as using torture tactis on suspected terrorists being detained. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, TRIED IN COURT AND JAILED!

Abolish every draconian measure implemented by Bush and Congress, including ANY AND ALL TORTURE, ALL UNWARRANTED SURVEILLANCE OF AMERICAN CITIZENS, ALL LIMITATIONS ON OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS. Repeal the Patriot Act and all its progeny. FREEDOM - absolute and inviolable - is the only way to fight terror. Police state policies create terror, without making us safer. At this point, I am more afraid of government than I am of terrorist attack. I am not alone. RESTORE OUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

On Day One, the President should make it clear that America is moving in a new direction in which we follow the rules of war, denounce secret prisons, denounce torture, and collaborate with others. We need to adopt a new approach in order to deal with nuclear weapons so that they eventually disappear.

I would like the next president to reconnect with America's traditional values by closing Guantanamo immediately, recommitting to a prohibition on torture across the board, and signaling to the rest of the world that America will resume its global leadership role in creating a global rule of law.
