I wanna rant about TORTURE.

THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS NO HUMANITY.
They have made torture routine and pervasive in everything they do.

THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS NO SHAME.
They have lawyers justifying it, rationalizing it as something its not. The attorney general gives permission to torture. Gonzales says tieing a human being to a board and holding him under water until he drowns and has to be revived is acceptable. Other lawyers say as long as there is no organ failure, its not torture.
THESE ARE PEOPLE SWORN TO UPHOLD THE LAW. Instead, they find ways to give this administration permission to ignore the law.

THIS ADMINISTRATION CANNOT EVEN BE OPEN ABOUT HOW THEY TORTURE.
They flat out deny it. Instead of feeling remorse, instead of finding compassion, they attack anyone who suggests they are torturing. They accuse that person of being a threat to national security. They accuse someone who objects to torture as providing aid to the enemy.

THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS COLLECTED AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF TORTURERS.
They secretly, under cover of night, deliver victims to other countries to do the torturing for us, as if that absolves us from blame.

THIS ADMINISTRATION NO LONGER CARES IF THE TORTURE VICTIMS HAVE USEFUL INFORMATION.
They have tortured people they KNEW were innocent. They have tortured family members they KNEW were innnocent, in order to get people to talk.

THIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING TORTURE FOR TORTURE'S SAKE.
Dr. Mengele would have been so proud. Dear God, what have they done? NOT IN MY NAME!

THIS ADMINSTRATION HAS TAKEN US TO A NEW LEVEL OF DESTRUCTIVE DIPLOMACY.
ANYONE who deigns to rationalize torture is no longer human. And by adopting this heinous policy, they have slathered blood not only on their own hands, but on ours unwillingly by association. How can any other country view us with anything other than justifiable suspicion and fear, contempt?

THIS ADMINISTRATION, BY THIS ONE POLICIY, HAS BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF EVIL.


stop. please stop. Do whatever you have to do to stop this.
