Anthony Romero Abuse Quotations

The United States government continues to turn a blind eye to mounting evidence of widespread abuse of detainees held in its custody,

We continue to see undeniable evidence that abuse and torture has been widespread and systematic, yet high-level government officials have not been held accountable for creating the policies that led to these atrocities.

If we are to truly repair America's standing in the world, the Bush administration must hold accountable high-ranking officials who allow the continuing abuse and torture of detainees.

When our leaders allow and even encourage abuse at the 'outer limits', America suffers. A nation that works to bring freedom and liberty to other parts of the world shouldn't stomach brutality and inhumanity within its ranks. This abuse of power was engineered and accepted at the highest levels of our government.
