Adams thinks, “The whole justification for torture is based on the idea that our safety, the safety of Americans [is of the utmost importance.] We are so important that it is necessary to torture innocent people just on the off chance that we might be able to protect really great Americans. And you know what? There is something fundamentally flawed with that, and you know what else is really gratifying is that a lot of Americans recognize that and they don’t want torture going on in their names to allegedly protect their safety.

I ask you to join and/or support the efforts of these women.

Along with whatever weekly peace vigils or tri-monthly rally/march you attend (or think you should be attending), consider hooking up with War Criminals Watch, the “Fire John Yoo!” campaign, World Can’t Wait, and any of the following, which have supported calls for a special prosecutor for Bush, Cheney, and other former members of the Bush Administration.
