Amnesty's new video on the Military Commissions Act

Amnesty International has released a short (minute-and-a-half) man-on-the-street video outlining some of the problems with the Military Commissions Act. Check it out.

This is part of Amnesty's campaign to restore "The America I Believe In" -- the America that doesn't torture people or use cruel, inhumane treatment. . . doesn't hold people without charge, without fair trials, without hope, and without end. . . doesn't kidnap people off the street and ship them to nations known for their brutality. . . doesn't condone prisoner abuse and excuse high-ranking government officials from responsibility for that abuse. . . doesn't justify the use of secret prisons. . . and does not rob people of their basic dignity.

We must not give up the fight for the America we believe in.
