Accountability for Torture Panel at Netroots Nation

The ACLU was in Pittsburgh last week for Netroots Nation, and National Security Project staff attorney Melissa Goodman joined a panel with the Center for Constitutional Rights' (CCR) Vince Warren, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), and Firedoglake's Marcy Wheeler for a discussion about the need for a special prosecutor to investigate the torture program carried out during the Bush administration.

Rather than give you a written rundown (which Spencer Ackerman did, live), why not just watch the video? It's broken into five parts.

Part I: Introductions, and Rep. Nadler's opening remarks:
