In December, activists across the country told the House of Representatives to approve legislation that would ensure that all U.S. agencies and personnel are bound by the same rules regarding torture and interrogation. It makes it clear that even the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is bound by the standards set forth in the Army Field Manual.
The next step is a senate vote on the same conference report. Please call the offices of Senator Lautenberg (202-224-3224) and Senator Menendez (202-224-4744) and urge them to support section 327 of the Conference Report on the Intelligence Authorization Act (H.R. 2082).” Doing so will help
·Ensure the accuracy of intelligence because information obtained through torture and other inhumane methods is inherently unreliable
·Strengthen U.S. efforts to stop terrorism by improving relations with our allies
·Protect U.S. citizens, including servicemen, by supporting international law and thus removing any cynical justification for violating their rights
·Decrease support for anti-Americanism by improving our nation’s image
·Restore the America that We Believe—the nation governed by the U.S. Constitution
