This call to action from Physicians for Human Rights CEO Frank Donaghue just landed in my inbox; I figured fellow Kossacks would want to take immediate action in response to PHR's report Broken Laws, Broken Lives: Medical Evidence of US Torture and Its Impact. PHR asked me to consult with them on raising the profile of this report. It's getting loads of attention in the netroots, and breaking through in traditional media.
But reading the report is not enough; immediate action is needed to hold the current administration accountable for war crimes. Those who ordered the use of torture must be held to account now. Please help get the word out. Thank you. -- jhutson
Here's the PHR action alert, sent out to everyone who has registered at http://brokenlives.info:
Thanks for your interest in PHR’s new report, Broken Laws, Broken Lives. I’m forwarding this urgent message from Frank Donaghue, PHR’s CEO, with three crucial actions to stop US torture.
