and lastly: take action – help the aclu support the john mccain anti-torture bill by emailing your representatives

Senator John McCain, who heroically survived torture and abuse while he was himself a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, introduced legislation that bolsters the prohibition on the government’s use of cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. The Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, John Warner, and an array of retired generals and admirals–including former Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell and John Shalikashvili, support this legislation.

Vice President Dick Cheney is personally lobbying Congress to exempt the CIA from the McCain amendment, so that the agency can continue to torture and abuse people in its secret prisons.
