Help McCain stop White House sponsored torture

Posted by Paul Woodland | No Comments

Distill America down to one core concept and you are not left with “democracy” or “freedom.” These are derivative concepts that only have meaning in a country and in a world that absolutely protects the individual rights of citizens against the tyranny of government. America was the first to introduce a bill of individual rights into our constitution. This is our legacy and our singular defining quality. If we do not protect human rights, as a nation, then we are nothing.

From Human Rights First:

Keep Bush True to His Word on Torture

President Bush recently declared: “We do not torture.” That is exactly what the world needs to hear.

Yet Vice President Dick Cheney is working behind the scenes to gut a Senate-passed ban on torture and abuse of prisoners. Why is the White House saying one thing and doing another?

Tell Pres. Bush to call off VP Cheney’s attempts to insert loopholes into McCain’s anti-torture amendment.
