a year after, folks seem to have pretty much accepted torture as o.k.

don't ya think? the big abu ghraib bru ha ha came and went, like so many other bushco scandals, all the sunday talks were discussing gitmo and if we should shut it and other torture houses down. even our 'own' diane feinstein couldn't quite decide definitively.

so it looks like most folks are just fine with the basic concept of torturing prisoners of war as just another routine military action, made necessary by nine eleven.

now, when inevitable videos of our own boys and girls in uniform being held captive and tortured and humiliated and forced to flush the bible and some sexual depravity thrown in finally surface, then, maybe, some folks might think a wee bit differently about torturing prisoners of war.

but don't you think it's disgusting that torture has now become just another quaint and archaic concept? hell, if you can accept genocide and illegal occupations, what's a little torture here and there?
