Don't let Bush have the last word:
contact your local radio station or write your local newspaper

With a single stroke of his veto pen, President Bush blocked a tough anti-torture law forbidding the CIA from engaging in waterboarding and other despicable practices. Call your local radio station or write your local paper. Follow these three easy steps:

1. LOOK UP YOUR NEWSPAPER or RADIO STATION CONTACT INFO.
   
2. WRITE a letter or CALL your local radio station and say:

• I am extremely disappointed that President Bush vetoed H.R. 2082, the Intelligence Authorization bill, which prevents the Central Intelligence Agency and other U.S. agents from using waterboarding, sexual humiliation, dogs and other techniques that amount to torture and ill-treatment.
• The Bush administration continues its stubborn and reckless disregard for basic decency and values the United States should model.
• The president’s action further compounds the incalculable damage to United States’ standing at home and abroad.
• I applaud Congress for rejecting the bogus arguments validating torture as an interrogation tactic and passing the bill.
• Congress should investigate the tons of credible evidence of illegal and inhumane actions in the Bush administration’s war on terror.
• Anyone responsible for illegal and inhumane actions must be prosecuted promptly.
• Bush asserting that the United States ‘does not torture,’ as he vetoes anti-torture legislation, rings more hollow than ever.
