pc25: "the rat is finally starting to show his hand.........." ????

Are you referring to Soros? Here is the text of the petition:

"The petititon reads: ?We call on the president of the United States to establish an independent, non-partisan commission to examine and report publicly on torture and cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees in the period since September 11, 2001.

?The commission, comparable in stature to the 9/11 Commission, should look into the facts and circumstances of such abuses, report on lessons learned, and recommend measures that would prevent any future abuses.

The petition continues: ?We believe that the commission is necessary to reaffirm America?s commitment to the Constitution, international treaty obligations, and human rights. The report issued by the commission will strengthen U.S. national security and help to re-establish America?s standing in the world.? "

.
Could you explain to me what exactly is wrong with setting up an independent (non-partisan) commission to investigate alleged abuses and make recommendation on how to avoid similar mistakes or wrongdoings in the future? What exactly are you against, the Constitution, international treaty obligations, or human rights? Or do you simply find shedding light into dark corners objectionable in general?
