Something's rotten in the State of America! How come Obama is talking about Cheney rather than calling him up on criminal charges for torture among other things? Do we dialogue with criminals now instead of arresting them? Is this the result of having so many criminals in government that we now think it's normal? Let's get behind the ACLU, sign their petition, and pitch in to get some much needed action. Carlin thinks that Obama agreed not to prosecute Bush/Cheney in exchange for the $350B in unspent bailout funds.

It's been six years since the first reports of detainee abuse and nearly five years since Abu Ghraib. A recent report from the International Committee of the Red Cross provided undeniable documentation of torture at Guantánamo. Yet the Justice Department has failed to prosecute any civilians for crimes related to interrogation, except a single contractor in June 2004.

Last week, the ACLU sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder calling for the appointment of an independent prosecutor to investigate the interrogation of detainees in the war on terror. Help reach the goal of 25,000 citizens calling for a full and fair criminal investigation.  Sign a petition demanding the Justice Department appoint a Special Counsel to investigate the torture and abuse of detainees.

Despite overwhelming evidence of high-level authorization for these crimes, only low-ranking military personnel have been arrested and tried.

A thorough criminal investigation is an important step in restoring our values of liberty and justice and reclaiming our reputation in the world. And an independent prosecutor should follow the facts wherever they may lead -- from Justice Department memos to White House torture meetings to secret government torture cells around the globe.

Join the ACLU in fighting for an America we can be proud of again. Please sign the ACLU's petition to Attorney General Holder calling for a special prosecutor.
