Thursday June 25th was Torture Acountability Action Day sponsored by a coalition of Progressive organizations to call attention to crimes committed by officials of the Bush administration as they implemented their broad and complex plan to initiate their program of extraordianry rendition (kidnapping) and torture.
Protesters gathered in Pasadena lead by Jodie Evans of CodePink and Dr. Dennis Loo of the World Can't Wait. On the steps of the 9th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals-Pasadena, they submitted a formal judicial misconduct complaint against 9th Circuit Judge Jay Bybee, former Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel. Bybee violated
international law and the Constitution by signing Bush administration memos authorizing torture.
To dramatize the violence ensuing from Bybees alleged criminal action, demonstrators wore orange jumpsuits (like those of Guantanamo Bay detainees), to provide visual reminders of the deplorable actions kept secret from a disapproving American public. In fact, a February USA Today/Gallup poll found that more than 40 percent of Americans agree that Americans who approved of or conducted torture should be prosecuted for their
crimes.

New evidence has emerged suggesting three Guantánamo prisoners whom the US claims took their own lives in June 2006 died not from suicide, but torture. A six-month investigation by Harper’s Magazine indicates the three prisoners were suffocated and tortured during questioning at a secret black site facility at Guantánamo known as “Camp No.”
The article is based in part on testimony from a former staff sergeant who says the Obama administration has refused to investigate his claims.
