a certain urgency
Following on the heels of the last post, we can only say that current events make the case even stronger: the Bush administration embraces torture. They've rewritten the Army's manual to encourage illegal (and way immoral!) abuse of prisoners. And Dick Cheney is on the warpath to make sure the CIA is exempted from any restrictions on torture.
Why? Not because it gets good information about terrorists, but because it gets people to tell interrogators whatever sick lies the administration wants to hear. They mistake the raving shrieks of a man in pain for intelligence.
End this now. For the good of our country and the world.
