[Peace-discuss] Legalized Torture

[Alfred Kagan]

I just sent the following statement to the listserv of the American 
Library Association Council.  Should AWARE do anything right now?

Note that I will be away from tomorrow through the middle of next week.

>So it comes to this. We now have a lead story in today's New York 
>Times explaining how the Justice Dept and the CIA have LEGALIZED 
>torture techniques.  As a profession that has some small influence 
>on what happens in this country, when are we going to stand up and 
>say no more?  President Carla Hayden's courageous work on the USA 
>Patriot Act shows that we do get national attention on critical 
>issues. 
>
>I ask the ALA Executive Board to issue a statement.
