Bush Urged to 'Tell the Truth About Torture'

[tuvor]

WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan 25 (OneWorld) - A red-and-black, 22-by-10-foot billboard mounted on a truck and emblazoned with the words ''Tell the truth about torture, Mr. President'' began circling the White House Wednesday as activists ratcheted up efforts to force President George W. Bush to confront U.S. treatment of terrorism suspects.

The mobile billboard will keep goading Bush to ''be honest about all allegations of U.S. acts of torture here and abroad'' in the administration's self-styled 'war on terror' until Jan. 31, when he is scheduled to deliver his annual State of the Union speech to Congress, said Amnesty International USA spokeswoman Sharon Singh.

The human rights watchdog group deployed the mobile billboard as part of a two-week campaign including an online petition. Launched a week ago, that effort so far has drawn ''at least 25,000 signatures,'' Singh said.

''Americans believe in justice and due process, and that everyone is entitled to due process. We have certain values,'' she told OneWorld. ''Ultimately, we the U.S. are seen as an upholder of human rights and we need to continue to do that.''

2. This has been the most secretive

lying-est bunch of phony, faked-up, POS, criminals to ever reach high office. There is no openness, honesty, truth telling or sincerity at all in this whitehouse. I expect everything and anything that comes from any of them to be a lie. Scottie McClellan is just like a pathological liar, makes up lies on the spot even if he could tell the truth. SNL should do a parody of him if they want to be funny again. I thought secret keeping from people that should be informed was wrong. Like when a perpetrator tells the victim not to tell his parents. Bush is molesting the constitution and the bill of rights and making sure his victim can't scream out to be rescued.
