Recently, President Bush vetoed the Intelligence Authorization bill because it made it illegal for the CIA to use waterboarding as an interrogation technique. Tomorrow the House of Representatives is expected to vote in an attempt to overturn that veto.

Please contact your Congressional Representative tonight and ask for their support overturning Bush’s veto. Below is the principle text of a letter from my wife and me, which I just faxed to my Representative Russ Carnahan. It is short and to the point. Feel free to use it in part or in its entirety.

We are writing to ask you to stand up to the Bush administration and to stand against waterboarding and other forms of torture. Please vote to overturn the President’s veto of the Intelligence Authorization bill.

For more information on waterboarding, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterboarding and http://www.aclu.org/safefree/torture/index.html
