If one listens to the intentionally misleading drivel in most of our media (FOX!!) one gets the idea that "enhanced interrogation" can be excused. This is especially true when one listens to EITHER of the Cheneys ... NEITHER of which have EVER been in combat or experienced, FIRST HAND, its impact.
If you have any questions about "enhanced interrogation" (torture) I invite you to read just 2 of the 10 the letters found at the link below:
I would suggest
---1) Sister Ortiz, herself a torture victim, and
---2) Mathew Alexander, former Senior U.S. Interrogator in Iraq, or
---3) Malcolm Nance, U.S. Counter-Terror Intelligence Specialist & combat veteran in Iraq.
Just read 2 letters and make up your own mind. (Just 'click' and read ... you are not sending anything at that point ... just reading.)

About Me
- LanceM
- I am a person who was raised as a full-fledged "Republican"... in fact, I named my middle son (now age 29) 'Reagan'. But, within 3 years of that I began to wake up to the misrepresentations then lies and later the criminal behavior of "my" party. Eventually, I felt I had to do something to help. These 'blogs' are that attempt.
