Subject: Tell Chevron: Fire the lawyer behind Bush torture.
Dear SG Friends,
President Obama says it's up to Attorney General Holder whether to prosecute the individuals responsible for the Bush administration's torture policies. One of the top names on Holder's list should be William J. Haynes II.
As General Counsel for the Pentagon under Donald Rumsfeld, Haynes authored the legal strategy for some of the most heinous torture techniques authorized by Bush - techniques that were, according to the New York Times, "interrogation practices based on illegal tortures devised by Chinese agents during the Korean War."
Haynes left the Pentagon when Rumsfeld did, but instead of going into exile - or better yet, prison - Haynes instead went to a cushy gig as chief corporate counsel for Chevron.
Torture goes against Amendment 5 (Right to Speedy Trial, Confrontation of Witnesses), Amendment 8 (Cruel and Unusual Punishment), and Amendment 13 (Slavery Abolished) to the Consitution of the United States of America. (See "Geneva Convention" for more violations).
I just took action to tell Chevron CEO David O'Reilly to fire Haynes - I hope you will, too.
Patriotically Yours,
Zalt
