Members of Congress are under pressure because the president is arguing that torture techniques are necessary for the defense of the United States. Hearing from their constituents now could help them resolve this dilemma and support human rights. Please contact Senator Graham at (202) 224-5972 (Washington) or 803-933-0112 (local) today to let them know you oppose brutal, inhuman and degrading treatment and secret prisons.

Also emphasize the protection of habeas corpus. Without habeas corpus innocent people could be left in jail indefinitely with no access to legal help. See End of Habeas Corpus? at the Institute for Public Accuracy, and Defend the Great Writ at the Center for Constitutional. These sites explain that both versions of the Military Commissions Bill strip away the fundamental right to habeas corpus.
