What You Should Say

  • As your constituent, I am calling to ask you to press for a non-partisan commission to review the treatment of detainees following September 11.
  • If the United States wants to be a beacon of justice and the rule of law abroad the U.S. needs to practice it at home.
  • Numerous interrogators, generals, and admirals have stated that abuses committed during interrogations are not only illegal, but also counter-productive and hurt our government's ability to collect accurate and timely intelligence.
  • Senate hearings have found that abuse at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib was not the work of a few rogue actors but the direct result of policies and practices sanctioned by the highest levels of the US government.
  • Please let me know how you intend to address this issue of accountability for detainee abuse.
