Add it to the List

Let's add one more thing for Obama to do tomorrow; I want him to emphatically declare that the US does not condone torture! We don't need to debate it's effectiveness (even though most studies show that it is ineffective). It's a matter of principle. The US as a whole is better than that. We are looked at by the world for guidance. We are outraged when other countries torture so how can we even think that it's acceptable for us. Results or Not.

And yes, water boarding is torture.

Here's an interesting article about the once classified report by the CIA's Internal General. Very fascinating stuff.
