Holy Hell
Mengele was a doctor wasn't he?
While it is laudatory that a protest has risen from the professionals who understand that this vocation ought be particularly constrained by ethical guidelines, surely the signatories are not astonished at the faulty human construct. It cannot be possible that there is no comprehension of the fact that irrational perspectives can be held by their fellows, as well as power brokers and politicians.
We are being held hostage by a government gone mad. If they are torturing detainees to "save" Americans, then it isn't torture. George Tenent just informed us of this daffy perspective in his recent whirlwind book promo.
"Name of interviewer, name of interviewer, name of interviewer, the United States does not engage in torture". (Control issues, with the take command redundancies, do you think?)
Unfortunately, seems the citizenry has gone over the edge enough to let them get away with it, too.
I can't help but think (often) of what happened to the two countries that practiced "pre-emptive" war and torture in the last century.
Doesn't look good for my kids.
