LOBBY FOR TORTURE.
Those are not my words, they are the words of the Washington Post editorial board, a group that was in full support of the Iraq war.
The editorial, posted on the flip in part, is entitled "A Defining Moment for America."
Unfortunately, the WaPo board has not fully grasped the implications of a President who lobbies for torture.
The problem is, OUR BELOVED AMERICA IS ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH TORTURE. Our personnel, paid with our tax dollars, have ALREADY tortured other human beings.
The significance of Bush's trip to Capitol Hill then, is different, and far more disturbing.
In short, the PRESIDENT of our country has sanctioned torture from the beginning. What his trip to Capitol Hill shows is his state of mind. I will consider the implications of this here and in future diaires.
