Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

Torture Continues at Guantanamo

I strongly support an independent blue ribbon commission investigation of the U.S. torture of these years. These practices are so far out of the mainstream of United States political and legal thought as to amount to a subversion of the U.S. Constitution. They are also against all morality and the tenets of every major religion of the world, including Christianity.

According to the article referenced below, torture is still continuing at Guantanamo! This, in spite of statements to the contrary by President Obama.



A useful, most valuable up-dating on the issue of torture. This article, however, is not for the squeamish.
