Sound problems on the videos, sorry about that.  There are more testimonials but since the sound is so messed up I’m not going to post them.  Maybe they’ll get fixed and re-uploaded.  Check out C-SPAN archives, unfortunately I can’t seem to get anything to load from there, though. ~ Lo

Confirmation of Detainee Murders

jperryam

On Wednesday, June 18, 2008, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Rights, held a hearing dealing with the torture of detainees in U.S. custody. This clip features the testimony of Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell. Wilkerson not only confirms that more than 100 detainees have died in U.S. custody, but that at least 25 of these deaths have been classified as homicides by American investigators.

Interestingly, Nadler has so far refused to support impeachment hearings for Bush and Cheney. Please contact him and make it clear that if he continues to refuse to demand accountability and justice that he will be forever seen as complicit in the crimes of the Bush administration.
