Are you aware that Douglas Feith is a Belfer Center Visiting Scholar at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government? Harvard now has a responsibility to revoke the fellowship. Mr. Feith was one of the six alleged war criminals named in the case by the Spanish court headed by magistrate Baltasar Garzon (who, by the way, also prosecuted former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet). The charge is that all six sanctioned torture. Feith admits he "played a major role" in Bush's Feb. 7, 2002 memo suspending the Geneva Conventions for detainees at Gitmo.  As Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Douglas Feith spearheaded the Counter Terrorism Evaluation Group and the Office of Special Plans which was instrumental in drawing up documents that explained the supposed ties between Saddam and al Qaeda. Now it is well known there was no connection, the "facts" making the connection were orchestrated and the reason for going to war in Iraq (that Saddam Hussein was an eminent threat to the US) was a lie.

The May 28th rally in Cambridge is being organized to coincide with the Pentagon court-ordered release of torture photos, thanks to the FOIA lawsuit won by the ACLU.
