WHEN WILL SPEAKER PELOSI DEMAND THAT CONGRESS AND TEAM OBAMA DISMANTLE THE BUSH-LEGACY 'EXTRAJUDICIAL PUNISHMENT NETWORK'...

...THAT CONTINUES TO MAKE A MOCKERY OF THE RULE OF LAW?

***

ATTENTION: LEADERS OF CONGRESS; ATTY. GEN. ERIC HOLDER, DHS SEC. NAPOLITANO, / DHS/DOJ EXEC. STAFF (please forward)

RE: BUSH JUSTICE DEPARTMENT APPROVAL OF RADIATION WEAPONS USE (TORTURE) ON U.S. CITIZENS...

...BY *ONGOING* 'EXTRAJUDICIAL PUNISHMENT NETWORK'

... coordinated multi-agency action "programs of personal destruction" manned by security/intel/revenue agents, local police nationwide, citizen vigilantes fronted by government-funded community policing and anti-terrorism programs.

IT IS DAY 36 OF THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.

DOMESTIC TORTURE VIA RADIATION WEAPONRY CONTINUES.

FEDERALLY-ENABLED COMMUNITY GANG STALKING, SURREPTITIOUS HOME ENTRIES AND VANDALISM OF 'TARGETS' CONTINUES.

WHAT DO GATES, BRENNAN, BLAIR, MUELLER AND SULLIVAN HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?

WHAT HAVE THEY TOLD OBAMA, BIDEN, NAPOLITANO, PANETTA, HOLDER AND GEITHNER?
