Stop the insanity!

Susan Powter used to yell, "Stop the insanity!" when it came to weight loss. Today, I use it to talk about torture, and the ongoing efforts by VP Cheney to get Congress to reject Sen. John McCain's ammendment to the 2006 Defense Appropritions Bill. Cheney, you are one evil fucker.

Luckily, there are so many progressive groups out there yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs that torture is a crime against humanity. The most recent is a Web site launched by the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition (TASSC) and Church Folks for a Better America. The Web site is: www.stopthetorture.org.

What the goons in the White House are trying to do is legitimize torture by the U.S. government. Their refusal to support McCain's anti-torture ammendment shows not only how craven they are, but also how shallow their commitment to a culture of life really is.
