DESCRIPTION:Ray McGovern speaking on "Our Himmlers, Eichmanns Unscathed as Obama 
 Dithers: Why Is He Afraid of the Torturers?",\n National Torture 
 Accountability Action Day, June 25\n\n"I don't want my grandchildren, of 
 whom I have six now, coming up to me when they're old enough and saying, 
 'Grandpa, you worked for the CIA. What was it like torturing people?' I 
 would say I didn't torture people, and they would say as the German kids 
 say to their parents, 'What did you do to stop it?'"\n\nRay McGovern was a 
 CIA analyst for 27 years. He returned his CIA "Intelligence Commendation 
 Award" medallion in 2006 saying "I do not wish to be associated with 
 torture". He cofounded Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity and 
 works with "Tell the Word", the publishing arm of the ecumenical Church of 
 the Saviour in Washington, DC. McGovern’s famous confrontation of Donald 
 Rumsfeld lying about Iraq WMD, shown here on Keith

 warrantless wiretapping case Al-Haramain v. Bush. Jon is an appellate 
 lawyer in Oakland. He was on Michael Schiavo’s legal team in the Terri 
 Schiavo case and has participated in litigation supporting marriage 
 equality and opposing Proposition 8.\n"I wonder whether Bybee feels guilty 
 before God. He certainly has no business being a federal judge. His 
 presence on the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals brings disgrace to that 
 court. He should resign." Jon Eisenberg in the SF Recorder\n\nUpdates on
