Abu Ghraib - Sample Letter

Dear Senator __________ or Representative ______________: As an American who is proud that our nation upholds the sanctity of individual dignity and human rights, and as a Jew who will never forget the Holocaust and its horrific examples of bureaucratic abuses of power, I urge you to support a thorough investigation into the abhorrent acts of persecution and humiliation by the US Military at Abu Ghraib prison. It is the obligation of the United States government to affirm and demonstrate to the entire world that actions, which so grossly violate the Geneva Convention, must be condemned and that those who committed, ordered, or permitted such acts must be punished. Yours truly, (Name) (Address) (E-mail)
