This is one thing I never get from The conservative stance that torture is ok if it is done to people that are different from us. When the horrible events of 9/11 happened one of things that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda wanted was to change the way the U.S. dealt in the world. They succeeded if they scared us.
One of the most un-American things I think of is torture. MY Father and Grandfather and Uncles and Cousins fought to make sure we stayed FREE and AMERICAN.
Bush and the Republican Party has served the terrorists by increasing that fear and doing VERY unAmerican things. We are LESS free than we have been in years. Habeas Corpus, until re-supplied by the Supreme Court (Which the Republicans STILL are against), was completely taken away.
My relatives didn't fight for this country to become a land that tortures and hates. But Bush has made it that way.
SO why is Bush FOR the terrorists agenda. BE AFRAID and let's take away those things that people around the world have loved about us.
Torture does not HELP our troops, it puts them more at risk, Torture does NOT work, you cannot trust the info you get from it. THESE are facts. But the people that want to scare us into voting for them deny these facts.
