The story of Tony Lagouranis, the former US Army interrogator in Iraq, continues to grow, but not quickly enough.

The following table indicates the resulting number of hits, by date, of a Google search performed on "Tony Lagouranis":

1 DEC: 694
2 DEC: 756
3 DEC: 938

This shows a 35-percent increase in the number of hits over the course of nearly forty-eight hours. Such an increase demonstrates growing interest; yet, the reach of this story into the public consciousness and conscience must deepen. Consider, for example, that a Google search on "Deborah Davis" bus -- another important story -- presently results in 23,800 hits.

Let's continue to spread the word of the importance of Tony Lagouranis's firsthand account of the torture and abuse he witnessed during his time in Iraq. You may also consider sending an email or letter to local and national newspaper editors as well as radio and TV producers, in the US and UK, requesting that they cover this story. Or, telephone their offices.

When the US president continues to insist that Americans don't torture, and the British prime minister supports this president's claims, then Tony Lagouranis's firsthand account which contradicts official US and UK statements is of tremendous importance.

Let's not allow a complicit corporate media to get away with keeping this story from the public's eyes, ears and minds.
