The Raw Story | Students explain why they handed Bush letter urging ban on torture
While meeting with a group of high school seniors from the Presidential Scholars program in the East Room of the White House, President Bush received an unexpected surprise: a letter signed by 50 of them urging Bush to halt “violations of the human rights” of terror suspects held by the United States.
With the recent revelations about Cheney’s unprecedented influence as Vice-President in the White House, giving the letter to President Bush was probably as effective as giving it to Charlie McCarthy.
