>We wanted to let you know about two leading TV shows this weekend 
>that will feature interviews with ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. 
>Romero. On both programs, Anthony will discuss the ongoing abuse of 
>detainees and prisoners in U.S. military custody, and the erosion of 
>America's moral leadership in the wake of continuing disclosures of 
>abuse.
>
>Tune in this weekend:
>
>Friday, April 29: PBS "NOW" at 8:30 pm ET and again Sunday at 11:00 
>pm ET (check local listings)
>
>
>Sunday, May 1: CBS "60 Minutes" at 7:00 pm ET (check local listings)
>The ACLU has played a pivotal role in bringing the abuse and torture 
>carried out by the United States government to light. These two 
>appearances allow Anthony to address specific allegations of torture 
>and the lack of accountability at the highest levels, even a year 
>after the photographs from Abu Ghraib became public.
>
>In Friday's "NOW" segment, Anthony will be among a number of experts 
>discussing detentions at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, and in 
>Afghanistan. On Sunday, May 1, Anthony will appear in a "60 Minutes" 
>segment detailing the use of sexually suggestive tactics to 
>humiliate and coerce Muslim men held at Guantanamo Bay. Anthony will 
>speak out powerfully against the use of these tactics and explain 
>their connections to the wider practice of torture and abuse 
>developed and condoned by our government.
