Impeach Bush and Cheney for Torture

On Friday, George Bush told ABC News he personally approved of the approval of torture – including waterboarding – by Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell and George Tenet.

“Yes, I’m aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved.”

In the wake of this shocking and appalling confession, we’ve come to a historic moment where every American – and every Member of Congress – must take a stand.

Either you’re for torture or you’re against it. And if you’re against it, you must support the only Constitutional remedy for a President and Vice President who commit war crimes: impeachment.

Tell Congress to Impeach Bush and Cheney for Torture

Dr. Martin Luther King famously said of the Vietnam War, “A time comes when silence is betrayal.”

When our President and Vice President personally approve torture, that time is now.

“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.”

- Theodore Roosevelt, in the Kansas City Star, 149 May 7, 1918

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
-Edward Abbey

Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have… a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers.
-John Adams

They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security
-Benjamin Franklen
