Demand for Full Disclosure on Torture

Past ABA Presidents, Former Judges, Elected Officials and Prominent Attorneys 
Demand Full Disclosure and Immediate Inquiry of Bush Administration's 
Involvement in Torture Memos

08.04.2004, Washington, D.C. — Some of the country's most respected members of 
the legal community, former judges, elected officials, former attorneys 
general, former American Bar Association presidents, DC Bar presidents, 
professors, and deans have signed on to a strong, bipartisan statement 
addressing the Bush Administration's preparation of memos related to torture. 
"The lawyers who prepared and signed these memoranda," reads the statement, 
"have not met their high obligation to defend the Constitution."

These lawyers have called upon the administration to release all memoranda and 
documents related to the treatment of prisoners and detainees and for an 
appropriate inquiry of how and why the memoranda were prepared and by whom 
they were approved.
