"The Military Commissions Act takes away the most basic legal protections. It
permits our government to commit torture. It allows prosecutors to use secret evidence
and confessions obtained by torture. It allows presidents to
declare anyone they want an 'enemy combatant' with no right of appeal. It's
a serious threat to democracy. Will you pledge to work for full repeal of the MCA? If not, why not?"
