Has Sen. Kerry commented on the Torture Memos?
Advertisements [?]
I read through some of them and found them ... well, horrible and chilling. They made me look at Bush differently, as they did not amount to "cowboyism" or "24", but rather banal and cold legal language to make the law fit what the WH wanted, which was to torture.

The Geneva Conventions are very important to Sen. Kerry so I have to admit to being surprised that there has been no statement issued from his office. And one can't argue it is because he was in the Sudan; his office managed to churn out press releases about high speed rail, global climate change, and an Arms Trafficking treaty with Mexico in the last week.

I also am unaware of him responding to Barbara Boxer's request that the SFRC hold hearings on the torture. Is Senator Kerry going to stand up for what he believes in, or is he just going to stick to less controversial issues? At the least, why not a word about it? It is just very, very odd.
