One facet of president Bush that I find troubling is his consistent commitment to inhumane treatment of prisoners of war.
What bothers me most is not his lack of a rational argument which could justify these Salem-witch-hunt practices, but that this Congress doesn't require one.
I am disappointed a great deal in John McCain who one minute railed against torture and in the next became complicit with it by agreeing to wink and nudge while the president continues to do so. It also appears that Congress will prevent prisoners from appealing this depravity to U.S. courts.
If this is how Mr. McCain intends to live up to his "maverick" status, then I prefer a traditional sell-out because they don't lift your spirits first.
Devil's advocate
How does America get it's moral compass back?
