Congress needs to take a stand

The Washington Post reported yesterday that a "memo issued last summer by a U.S. Army military intelligence officer appealed for suggestions on how to extract information from prisoners in Iraq and called for tougher means of getting intelligence." What we might be seeing is the start of a wealth of information which shows the Abu Graib interrogations were not some abnormal behavior which were created out of context by a couple of junior enlisted military personnel.

Why do I mention this? Well, part of the responsibility of the Congress is to bring issues to light, to investigate, to hold hearings, to bring the American government into the age of transparency. And, at the moment, most of our elected representatives are more concerned about their own jobs than transparency in government.

I seek out elected representatives who will bring transparency to the Hill and other power spots in Washington. I seek out representation which strives to find the truth.

I seek out representatives like Dave Patlak. I hope you do too. Support Dave Patlak.
