"The only way to win World War III is to prevent it."

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies,

in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Dwight D. Eisenhower

"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."

The Right to Torture Americans

Conservatives are protesting a federal judge's ruling that torture victim Jose Padilla's civil lawsuit
against former Justice Department attorney John Yoo be permitted to continue. The conservatives feel that Yoo,
who authored some of the infamous torture memos for the Bush White House, should be immune from lawsuits from
Americans who were tortured as a natural consequence of such memos.

Let's sum up what conservatives (and neo-conservatives) are saying about the America in which we now live.
They'e saying that the federal government now wields the power to torture Americans and that Americans had better
get used to this new way of life. Any American who is tortured should forget about ever suing any federal official
who either does the torturing or who authorizes or facilitates it.
...................
Of course, I would be remiss if I didn? point out that when it comes to torture,
liberal icon Barack Obama has turned out to be no different from conservative icon George W. Bush.
They both utter the same anti-torture mantras (?e don? torture or ?e won? torture anymore?
while steadfastly insisting on civil and criminal immunity for federal torturers and steadfastly
opposing official investigations into the federal government? torture regime.
