Take a stand against torture

Last Saturday, George Bush announced that he vetoed the Intelligence Authorization Bill, thereby sending a message to the rest of the world that he supports torture, even after Congress rejected practices such as water boarding.

George Bush has once again compromised the moral leadership of our nation. By vetoing a bill establishing a single, government-wide interrogation standard, the President has substituted his own judgment for that of the vast majority of military and foreign policy experts -- including Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Iraq -- who all agree that torture is simply counterproductive.

Now is the moment when we all need to join together and say "no" to torture.

Now is the time to take a stand against torture.

1. How surreal...
Please don't torture any more human beings. It would be nice if we could stop killing them as well, but I myself would prefer death to torture. Maybe we could give them a choice? But first, above all else, save the puppies, and just say no to steroids.
