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.)

Prosecutor with a Conscience

It is refreshing to know there are men and women in government with a conscience. Such a person is Lieutenant Colonel Stuart Couch. Lt. Col. Couch refused to prosecute a man accused of conspiring to commit acts of terror on Sept. 11, 2001, because he discovered the man had been tortured. This is the kind of patriot we need in our country now.

See video of this extraordinary person at the link below or by clicking on the title above.

(It goes without saying that true terrorists are to be condemned. Yet is not torture itself a kind of terrorism? -- TMP)

Note: My apologies for the recent lull in posting. Things have been busy with a Labor Day week-end intervening as well. I hope to be back on track with more frequent posts.
