To: President Donald Trump
punish the torturers
We insist that the torturers in any American administration be brought to justice as soon as possible. No crime should go unpunished.
Why is this important?
The President has wrongly said "We are looking forward and not backward." If that had always been the rule, no criminal could ever be punished because a crime is immediately in the past. We could not have punished the criminals at Nuremburg. The people who authorized and advised torture must be arrested and put through the court process. We executed Japanese officers for waterboarding in WWII, and our waterboarders should at least see the inside of a prison cell.
