Tomorrow, April 16, the American people may finally get a chance to see secret legal memos prepared by the Bush administration to justify the CIA’s illegal torture program.

Under an agreement with the ACLU, the Obama administration is now considering the release of four memos written by the Bush Justice Department, in 2002 and 2005, that were used by the Bush administration to provide legal cover for its abusive interrogation techniques.

We have a right to know how the Bush administration circumvented the law and justified violating human rights. Americans should never be afraid of learning the truth about their government.

Thank you for supporting this fight for accountability.
