Speaking the Unspeakable: Is the Bush Administration Guilty of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity?
The Bush Crimes Commission National Campus Speaking Tour will be coming to Sarah Lawrence College April 11th, 7:30 at Titzworth Hall featuring speakers Ray McGovern, Vanessa Brocata and Ted Glick. The following speakers will present the full scope and depth of the Bush Crimes Commission, an instrumentality of world humanity and a unique response by people of conscience to the unprecedented historical responsibility before us.
NO, it’s not about failed policies based on lies–it’s about crimes against humanity.
Below are bios for speakers- Ray McGovern, Vanessa Brocata and Ted Glick.
Ray McGovern on Torture and Indefinite Detention
Retired CIA analyst. In 2003, McGovern founded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS). McGovern: ‘This Commission is doing what our German forbearers in the 1930s did NOT do. They sat around, blamed their rulers, said ‘maybe everything’s going to be alright.’ ‘ On March 3rd, 2006, Ray marched into Congress with 15 others wearing Guantánamo Bay orange jumpsuits and declared: “As a matter of conscience, I am returning the Intelligence Commendation Award medallion given me during my 27-year career in the CIA. The issue is torture, which inhabits the same category as rape and slavery – intrinsically evil. I do not wish to be associated, however remotely, with an agency engaged in torture.”
