My LTTE in the Strib on Bush's Torture Hypocrisy
Why a veto threat?

If, as President Bush says, his administration doesn't "do" torture, then why is he threatening a veto -- the first of his presidency -- of a bill that would ban the use of torture?


DAN BROWN, ST. PAUL

4. there was a letter in the pioneer goof today...
The author said dim son has protected americans from terrorist attacks. Has that clown seen the news at all for the last 3 years? For crying out loud an 'insurgent' is a terrorist for christ sake. Its no different than attacking an embassy or the Cole. When will these people pull their heads out of their asses?

6. Great letter, Dan!
Yep. we need to keep firing them off.

I liked the responses to the Church Lady's gay bashing column, too.

I read her column, and thought, what's the problem, lady? What's the big threat to you?

It seems like the adoption of gay marraige rights is progressing just fine in Canada. Kersten managed to find a bigoted Canadian to quote. Big effen deal.

7. Hooray! Great LTE.
I saw the letter in the Strib. Straight, short and to the point as my high school English teacher would say!
