BUSH AND RUMSFELD HAVE MADE US A NATION OF TORTURERS
As I sit here playing with my computer, it's very likely that somebody is being tortured by someone whom my taxes are helping to pay.
I've gained a good deal of sympathy for the extreme radicals of the 60s in these past months. They said and did a lot of stupid, and occasionally evil, things; but they did so because they found the situation they were in morally unendurable. When I think about it, my situation is morally unendurable; but I know of nothing I can do that's likely to change anything, so I rarely think about it.
If you want to make yourself uncomfortable, Jeanne d'Arc and Jim Henley, whom I've added to my blogroll, are doing excellent jobs of covering this topic.
