Scholars Urge Bush to Ban Use of Torture

June 25, 2007

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush was presented with a letter Monday signed by 50 high school seniors in the Presidential Scholars program urging a halt to ``violations of the human rights'' of terror suspects held by the United States.

The White House said Bush had not expected the letter but took a moment to read it and talk with a young woman who handed it to him.
