2. America cares so little, some folks are even encouraging a war criminal
to run for President in 2008

That's how little America cares about torture. That's how little America cares about those who are being tortured. That's how above the law America feels about other Americans. That's how accepted torture is in America.

Dick Cheney is encouraged to run for President. A war criminal is encouraged to run for President.

4. I thought it was pretty clear.
Torture happens, we know it, and nobody really does anything about it. Silence is implicit approval.

6. A US Senator is "Outraged at the Outrage" over the US torturing prisoners
And he was elected again to high office. Sorta tells us where America's values lie...
