ACLU seeks Sanchez investigation on Abu Ghraib perjury- (United Press International)

ACLU seeks Sanchez investigation - (United Press International):

"Mar. 31 (UPI) -- The American Civil Liberties Union Thursday asked U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for a perjury investigation of the former theater commander in Iraq. There was no immediate comment from the Justice Department.

The ACLU said a newly released memo sent by Lt. Gen Ricardo Sanchez flatly contradicts his sworn testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee in which he denied authorizing highly coercive interrogation methods of detainees.

Although The Washington Post first disclosed its existence, the memorandum at issue was withheld from public release by the Defense Department under national security grounds, the ACLU said. The ACLU obtained a physical copy of the memo under an ongoing Freedom of Information Act lawsuit and released a copy Tuesday."
