Last week, at a panel discussion following a screening of Tortured Law, a top Bush administration official, Daniel Levin, acting head of the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel in 2004-05, stated that he was not opposed to criminal investigation of the lawyers’ role in authorizing torture:

"I personally am not opposed to criminal investigation of the conduct of myself and others during the period in question, because I think any government employee is appropriately subject to investigation of their conduct while they are serving in the government." http://media.wcl.american.edu/Mediasite/SilverlightPlayer/Default.aspx?peid=3a5307614e0d4e159735e43be29ba62f

For the first time, a senior Bush Administration official has publicly acknowledged that wrongdoing occurred in the development of Bush's torture policies to the degree that it warrants a criminal investigation of the lawyers in the upper echelon of the Department of Justice. Mr. Levin also said that he would support the creation of an independent commission to review the Bush torture policies.

Show Attorney General Holder that there is public support to authorize a full investigation of those who contorted the law to make the United States a nation that tortures.

Join with Alliance for Justice and call Attorney General Holder to urge him to take the first step towards accountability by releasing the Justice Department’s report on the authors of the "torture memos." Only by knowing the facts can our nation move forward and take the necessary actions to uphold the Constitution and the law.
