By now most of you have already read
Capt. Ian Fishback's letter to John McCain regarding the torture of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If not, here's an excerpt that perfectly encapsulates the Captain's position
Some do not see the need for this work. Some argue that since our actions are not as horrifying as Al Qaeda's, we should not be concerned. When did Al Qaeda become any type of standard by which we measure the morality of the United States? We are America, and our actions should be held to a higher standard, the ideals expressed in documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Others argue that clear standards will limit the President's ability to wage the War on Terror. Since clear standards only limit interrogation techniques, it is reasonable for me to assume that supporters of this argument desire to use coercion to acquire information from detainees. This is morally inconsistent with the Constitution and justice in war. It is unacceptable.
Well, it's now your chance to show your support for a soldier who's stood up to this Administration's disgraceful efforts to subvert the Geneva Conventions.
