Action Item - Holder Must Appoint A Special Prosecutor Now

Last week Attorney General Eric Holder finally allowed that he might
appoint some kind of special prosecutor for the rampant torture
regime of the Cheney/Bush administration. But will he actually hold
the torture kingpins accountable or just scapegoat some little fish
the way Abu Ghraib was swept under the rug.

With the simultaneous revelation that Dick Cheney himself ordered the
CIA to keep his personal international assassination a secret from
Congress, it has never been more urgent to get to the bottom of the
rogue government operating inside the White House, and to hold those
criminals at the highest level fully accountable under the law.

There are brave members of Congress calling out for justice, like
Senator Russ Feingold, who wrote Holder this week on behalf of the
Senate Judiciary Committee. We must add all our voices to the chorus
and demand real accountability.

Isn't it curious that Congress can get all fired up about crucifying
baseball players for lying to them about personal use of steroids,
and yet committing war crimes somehow has not received as much
attention yet? Yes folks, as long as we indict Barry Bonds and Roger
Clemens our democracy is secure.

And do you remember just last month when Republicans were protesting
that the CIA would NEVER lie to Congress, with CIA director Leon
Panetta as their star witness? Except that they did lie, that's not
what Panetta said, they were lying to Panetta at the VERY MOMENT, and
we just found out about that. Oh yes, we are so sure that this is
coming out only now just to save Nancy Pelosi's reputation from right
wing demagoguery.

So please submit the action page above to send your message directly
to Holder himself, Obama, and all your members of Congress. And when
do you will have an opportunity from the return page to request a
free gift with your donation of any amount to help help support our
progressive activist work. Not only are the very popular "CONVICT
DICK & W" caps available there, we have a brand new "Single Payer
Health Care" cap hot off the embroidery frames, and we are making

candidacy in 2008.
