- Go to Our Fall from Grace into Disgrace........
Thank you for posting. I am worried too, where and when will this end? Very good point about what standards we adopt will be held up as the standards our enemies could use on us, our children, and so on. Besides, hasn't it usually worked better to win over people to your cause in order to obtain information than to act like the barbarians that I'm sure their propaganda paints us? We only prove to them their cause is just when we use torture. We only become that which we say we want to remove from the world.

Benzinha, Guantanamo Bay is a scandalous disgrace but because this happens elsewhere it is swept under the carpet. Good post.

Benzinha, right on the mark.
After 4 years of riding on buses to Washington, standing in the freezing cold, waving NO MORE WAR, NO MORE TORTURE signs, working for MoveOn.org and the Civil Liberties Union, and womens rights, I got exhausted and jaded. I feel we are going to hell in a handbasket as a nation and I want to jump ship.
My friend RG reminds me what a long haul this democracy has been. He says we have to stay and fight.

This nation is not what it pretends to be. Our government is out of control and one of these days its gonna crash from bad economics. Makes me sad.

I know padrecito, it was attended by tired idealists who had hope for a
better world, full of better humans who would behave more humanely, if they signed on to the documents and promised to be good and follow them and "crossed their hearts and hoped to die" as we children say.

The Geneva Convention was not attended by men who are directly in charge of prisoners.
