  • Bush should not open oil reserve for spoiled americans

    [Read the article: Should Bush open up the oil spigot?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Americans consume oil at an unsustainable rate. If Chinese would consume as much we would need four more worlds to support them. On the other hand, it's Bush's "family" enjoying this price appreciation...I wonder how such an article would faire on skewz.com

  • Everybody tortures

    [Read the article: The agonizing truth about CIA renditions]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Trying to reply to multiple letters I just read about this article:

    First - Milgram's famous experiement with simple ordinary people showed that 71% of the population (American at the time) would torture if they were instrucuted to do so (was confirmed by a recent Stanford experiement).

    Second - it is simulated drowning. In actual drowning you die.

    Third - this article uses the faulse details (only CIA knows some of the facts) to construct a certain level of faulse credibility.

    Fourth - This article is skewed extrem left on skewz.com
