Torture unacdeptable

Force-fed a baseball. Imagine the impossibility of that. Imagine how 
impossibly painful that action would be, the destruction of some facial 
muscles. This is only one one-hundredth of the nightmare Americans are 
forcing on men, women and children who live at our secret jails scattered 
over the world and on ****ps at sea. It's also a small part of the horrific

realities for men, women and children at Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib and 
other known holding sites for "enemy combatants."
My claims sound outrageous buy they are sup****ted by the International 
Committee of the Red Cross, which to many won't be proof of anything. But 
recently a major re****t on medical evidence of our torture policies
against 
innocent men, women, and children detainees was issued by the physicians
for 
human rights. It's sup****ted by Major General Anthony Ta-guba who worked
at 
Abu Ghraib.
Before you decide to consider me a traitor to the country, before you
decide 
to call me a terrorist sympa-thizer, before you decide to laugh at my 
statements, think about this: what if your son or daughter or husband or 
wife were captured by the Taliban and treated in this manner, would it be
so 
funny? Would it be so easy to ignore?
The bush Administration is forcing our military to be-have in manners 
contrary to law, both man made law and God's law. Our military are being 
used by an administra-tion that cares about only one thing: oil rights
Most recently Mr. Bush himself said in an interview with Skye News of 
Britain that the torture "should not reflect, you know, America. This is
the 
actions of some soldiers." Yet on June 12 Mr. Bush admitted to ABC News
that 
he did indeed give the go ahead for torture.
