Representative Robert Wexler is asking for my support and donations.

As Bush and Cheney scramble to defend their actions, making false claims about the effectiveness of the techniques and the military’s desire to use them, we must be very clear: the most senior generals, the ones we trust with our sons and daughters lives – who literally formed the battle plan – are saying Bush and Cheney were wrong.

“If we do not find out what happened then we are doomed to repeat it,” said General Sanchez.

Exactly.

I remain a strong supporter of an independent investigation into the Bush Administration policies.  I have also introduced legislation that would establish a special select House Committee to reexamine our national security after a full investigation of the practices and policies of the Bush Administration.

Complaints about the use of torture are no longer arising only from those of us in the Democratic Party.  I congratulate these soldiers for their brave and honest words.

I told Rep Wexler  that if he did not stop undermining President Obama’s efforts to tell our Israeli allies the truth that they need to hear, I would forego my support for Wexler.  I’ll fight the war against torture in my own way, thank you very much.
