A Not So Sweet Deal

According to FOX News, the White House and Congressional Republicans have agreed on a compromise regarding the torture of detainees. In short, it appears that detainees can still be tortured, and that detainees (even US citizens) can be held indefinetely without any oversight. If this is true, this compromise represents a radical departure from this coutry's governing principles. It is absolutely unimaginable that we would ever give the Executive the authority to hold anyone indefinetly without judicial oversight. It is unconscionable that we would undertake those cruel and inhuman tactics we so loudly protest when employed by our enemies.

I suspect Christian groups around the country will rally against this type of government sanctioned cruelty and degradation. (Heh heh. I know. Just kidding. Thought we could use some humour.)

MEMO to US : We are supposedly be leading the fight for democracy and justice...
