Torture: Immoral, evil, wrong & bad
(but okay with the Wall Street Journal)
I don't care if someone else is doing something more bad than I am. What I
care about is what I am doing. If what I do is wrong, it's wrong. End of story.
And I don't want to be compared to the world's evil to justify my own evil,
as in: They do it worse, so why aren't you talking about them? When freepers
cite the torture and abuse of other governments (or the evils of terrorism)
as reason for why our torture isn't so bad after, my eyes roll over so far

I didn't comment last week on Amnesty International's report of the torture
at Gitmo as being the "Gulag of our time." That Bush is leading America
towards being run by a government based on authoritarian terror isn't news.
