Petraeus Comes Clean
And admits that what happened at Gitmo was a violation of the Geneva conventions. Rachel Maddow has it on tape.

The National Religious Campaign Against Torture invites you to —
A RELIGIOUS PUBLIC WITNESS IN WASHINGTON, DC
Thursday, June 11, 2009
Noon - 1:30
PMNRCAT is sponsoring a major event led by seven heads of faith groups and other senior religious leaders in front of the White House atnoon on Thursday, June 11, to urge President Obama to create a Commission of Inquiry to investigate U.S torture practices since 9/11.
Our goal is to have 1,000 people of faith join us. We need your help make that happen. In his speech on Guantanamo and torture last week, the President reiterated his opposition to appointing such a commission. We are disappointed and believe he is wrong.
By making our position visible, we seek to change his mind. Discovering the truth makes us free, holds people accountable, andcan bring healing and transformation. The results of the investigation will also make it possible for the Congress to put the needed safeguards in place to assure that U.S.-sponsored torture never takes place again. The list of confirmed senior national religious leaders who will provide leadership during the witness at the White House on June 11,other details about the event and promotional fliers are all available here<http://www.nrcat.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=346&Itemid=260>
