http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/mccarthy/ == Empanel a Federal Grand Jury Probe into CIA "Project Cherry"! == Description of Petition: After more than 30 years of waiting for his final "day in court," former U. S. Army special forces captain John J. McCarthy, Jr., now has an opportunity to gain full vindication as to the events surrounding the U. S. Central Intelligence Agency's conduct during its secrecy-shrouded, treasonous rogue operation called "Project Cherry" -- treasonous because the project had defied presidential proscription against its very existence, whose centerpiece aimed at assassinating one or more high officials of the Vietnam-era Cambodian government. Background: Based on certain whistleblower-derived evidence (and the potential for more), along with some eye-opening State Department-revealed records, McCarthy's victimization as a CIA fall guy has become ripe for further investigation and exposure, leading to full accountability for those who, through their wanton criminal actions, have brought shame and disdain upon the good name of the United States in foreign affairs. For details about the McCarthy saga, see the following Internet web sites: http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/hall/Mac.html http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/21.html http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/22.html http://www.geocities.com/larryjodaniel/23 http://johnmccarthy90066.tripod.com/ Text of Petition: -- Whereas, we, the undersigned citizens, expect all our institutions, government agencies, and their officials to set an example in adhering to the rule of law; -- Whereas, we know that no agency official past or present can forever evade or thwart the accountability that underpins that law; -- Whereas, certain CIA officials continue to stonewall public access to all records pertaining to "Project Cherry"; -- Whereas, no government agency has any legal authority to invoke provisions of "national security" classification to deny public access to records revelatory of treasonous conduct (or any other high crime); and -- Whereas, the pertinent grand jury holds in its hands the key to this too-long suppressed information critical to sound public-policy oversight -- We hereby petition the U. S. attorney for the District of Columbia to proceed immediately with empaneling a special grand jury to exercise its investigatory-and-reporting function upon the policies/practices/events/principals related to "Project Cherry" and its aftermath.

And that prospect should help McCarthy's healing process.
