Shameful and Unamerican

Of course, you can always justify torture by “protecting national interests and security”. It’s how Stalin justified the gulags and every two bit despot justifies torture, they are always “enemies of the state” and the torturer is just trying to protect their country. I NEVER thought I’d hear Americans doing the same rationalization. But this is the era of Bush, an era of amorality, pathological secrecy, lying and lack of ethics…torture is just the logical next step.

You’re either for torture or against it. It’s either wrong or it’s not.

Makes me sick.
