Cindy Sheehan has a diary up on the Daily Kos this morning. I offer this little snippet just to remind everyone about the current state of the modern left, and the stakes this November:
Torture is a crime against humanity, George, and information gained from torture is highly compromised and not even admissible in a court of law, so basically, the information you have been cruelly gleaning from "suspected" terrorists is useless in protecting America.
Secondly, I do not want one of my brothers or sisters in humanity tortured to "protect me." I don't want you using me, as an American, to endorse your sadistic policies. If one of my fellow human beings has to be tortured to give me a false sense of security, then I don't want it.
I won’t bother identifying the illogical or ridiculous aspects of this statement. It’s too early for shooting fish in a barrel, and I haven’t even had my morning Fruit-Loops.
