Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Why do Feinstein and Wyden sound much different on the torture issue now? The two Senators spent the year emphatically insisting that the CIA's interrogators comply with the Army Field Manual. With Democrats in control, they're not so emphatic any longer
  • "Torture keeps Americans safe"?

    I would like to see Mathew Alexander say the following reminder to the faces of Wyden and Feinstein and hear their 'Humma, humma, humma rebuttal.

    The number of U.S. soldiers who have died because of our torture policy will never be definitively known, but it is fair to say that it is close to the number of lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001. How anyone can say that torture keeps Americans safe is beyond me -- unless you don't count American soldiers as Americans.--Mathew Alexander
