Attorney General Holder appointed a prosecutor to review whether U.S. interrogators broke federal anti-torture laws during interrogations of detainees.

We are committed to stopping torture worldwide. Ending impunity for those who commit torture is the most powerful deterrent. Enforcing the prohibition on torture will also repair U.S. standing in the eyes of the world. The announcement of a prosecutor is a good first step.

But additional action is required.

First, we urge Attorney General Holder to consider a stronger mandate . Any investigation should encompass not only those who went beyond the set forth limits on interrogation, but should also include those responsible for distorting the definition of torture, as well as those who authorized such distortions. If evidence of criminal malfeasance exists, it should be fully investigated irrespective of rank or stature.

Second, in sanctioning torture and cruelty - policies we rejected for more than 200 years - our system of checks and balances malfunctioned. To uncover the breakdown in our system and identify ways to repair the process, we urge President Obama to appoint an independent, nonpartisan commission to evaluate the policymaking framework in which the U.S. engaged in torture.

Click here to send a message to your Member of Congress. Call on your Representative and Senators to urge the President to establish a nonpartisan commission. The appointment of a prosecutor with a broad mandate, alongside a nonpartisan commission, would strengthen the foundation on which our values rest.

Thank you for your continued support!
