Commentary: Bush Accepts McCain's Ban On Torture
This is a major victory for the forces of human decency and Christian love.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 16, 2005 ) Alexandria, VA -- Faced with a certain over-ride if he tried to veto the bill, President Bush has accepted Sen. John McCain's anti-torture amendment.
This is a major victory for the forces of human decency and Christian love, and a major defeat for the sadistic and perverted warhawks who had tried to drag us down to the level of uncivilized savages, on the pretext that we couldn't protect our Country if we didn't torture our prisoners.

There is still the possibility that the Rumsfeld-Cheney pro-torture clique will try to bypass or subvert the new law, but there is no question now that our national policy clearly and forcefully rejects torture in any form, for any reason.
Congratulations to Congress for waking up and opposing the right-wing, pro-torture minority, and refusing to go along with yet another bad policy of the President.
And congratulations to Sen. McCain, for leading the Republican opposition to torture and facing down our badly-advised Republican President.
For several months now I have had an anti-torture web page at http://www.anti-torture.net, and a related discussion group at http://groups.google.com/group/Anti-Torture-Network. You are invited to visit both of these, and to join the discussion group if you like.
Blessings to you. May God help us all.
