I'll be working really hard this week (and I guess his weekend, too!) to get the new CD finished and available for you guys! Maybe we'll do something special for a release concert of some kind.

AND!!!

I still want you guys to spend today and tomorrow passing the link for this brand new song and video around the country and the world! Don't let up! The Attorney General has got to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the use of illegal torture in our name. (Investigate, hell!!! We've had Cheney and Gates and Hayden and half the right-wing political world bragging about it!)

Some think that Eric Holder has a difficult decision to make.

In David Johnston's article in the NY Times today, he quotes Philip B. Heymann, who, like Mr. Holder, was a deputy attorney general in former President Bill Clinton's administration, as saying:

"It's a very difficult decision. It's about as hard a decision as I can imagine a prosecutor having to make."

In the article, he goes on to say that Mr. Holder's choice is not simply a prosecutorial judgment. President Obama has said criminal acts should be prosecuted, but he has also warned that he does not want his administration distracted from its ambitious agenda by backward-looking inquiries.

I've got news for all of them.

It's not a difficult decision. And it's not an easy decision.

IT'S NOT THEIR DECISION TO MAKE!!!!!!!!!

It's the law.

If this were a monarchy or an oligarchy.... sure. But, we're supposed to live in a democratic republic based on the rule of law.

I really need all of you to care. I really need to ask all of you reading this to watch that video again and leave a thoughtful comment, no matter how brief, on the YouTube page. My friends and colleagues an I worked so hard on the song and video for the new song "Resolution" and the purpose is to raise the level of discourse in this country around the issue of torture, decency, principle and justice.

Would you take a minute right this minute, and watch this video? Then do me a favor. (I ask this sincerely and you guys know that over the course of a year, I don't generally ask for much.)

Watch the video, listen to the song then take a minute, make the slight effort to go to YouTube and leave a comment about the song, about the video, and your honest thoughts and feelings about the issue they address.

Okay?

YOUR COMMENTS

I'm really serious. Y'know? If I was smart business man, you guys would hafta wait until this brand new song is released on the new CD next month. But, this is about something more important than selling CDs. This is about taking a few moments in a Life to do what's right. (It actually feels really good to make the effort. It's just one of those little self-esteem-building things that doesn't take a whole lot of time.) The point of the song is to raise the level of dialogue, national discourse and awareness about torture in our name... yours and mine.

So, leave a comment. Be heard. Trust me.... you'll feel Good that you did for the rest of the day today.
