Follow this link to the New York Times story on the pressure that is building up to investigate the use of torture under the Bush administration.

It is up to all of us to keep this pressure up.  Perhaps the value of the Nuremberg Trials after World War II has diminshed with the passing of time.  We need a refresher set of trials to reinforce the strictures against torture and to educate a new generation on the seriousness of the crime.

You can send a message to the White House Office of Public Liaison to express your concerns.

You can sign the petition at MoveOn.org. I signed the petition with the following additional comment:

The lessons learned from the Nuremberg trials are fading from our collective memory.

We need a booster shot for our moral indignation over torture.  Let the world know that there are consequences for those who use torture or try to justify its use.
