    I had a similar thought: does Accountability Now have a role to play?

    RE: marches/demonstrations: I don't agree that marches are ineffective, if done right. Torture/Bush admin investigation is an issue where I would spend the money to fly to DC to march. If enough people did that, I think it would be effective; as opposed to say, 100 people gathering in Oakland or San Diego.
