Dear President Bush,

With this note I hope to make sure you know that I have been invited by the Dallas Peace Center to lecture next Thursday evening, July 9, at a dinner at FunAsia in Richardson.  You and Mrs. Bush are cordially invited.

In my remarks I plan to focus on the subject of torture.  I shall draw on my thirty years in Army Intelligence and the CIA, as well as a lifetime of trying to follow Jesus of Nazareth.  I will take issue with your decision of February 7, 2002 that the Geneva Convention Relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War (August 12, 1949) does not apply to al Qaeda and Taliban detainees; and I will explore the implications of that decision.

Somehow it seemed not quite proper to come to Dallas without letting you know this in advance.  I also wanted to tell you that I would welcome a chance to discuss these issues with you—either privately or, better still, at the dinner itself.

“After 40 years of such publicity stunts and bravado from cops and prosecutors, the citizens know a circus show when they see it.  When parents were young, they could buy pot, LSD, qualudes, etc., with 1-2 phone calls.  Today their teen offspring can buy pot, heroin or X with 1-2 phone calls—at cheaper prices and much stronger purity.

An economy in freefall and a severely contracting job market have placed the collective futures of our young people in dire jeopardy. However, the greatest immediate threat facing our children’s economic security comes as a result of the actions of the Arizona State Legislature and not from the economy in general.
