Moral Idiocy

The moral idiocy of the Right (Chas Johnson edition, referencing the Iraqi insurgents' torture rooms):

Despite the incredible cheapening and trivialization of the word by the likes of Amnesty International and Dick Durbin, this is what real torture looks like.

Oh really? So what does this describe?

It means being willing to let taxi drivers whom we know to be innocent be beaten to death, detainees be sodomized with chemical lightsticks and have lit cigarettes stuck in their ears, and fourteen year olds be "suspended from hooks in the ceiling for hours at a time" while being beaten, in order to preserve the illusion that our own hands are clean.

Apparently, the honor of the nation can be defended by yelling "We're Not Nazis" and "We're Not as Bad as the Terrorists" and wearing "I Love Gitmo" and "What Happens in Gitmo Stays in Gitmo" t-shirts.

Not my country. My country is better than the Charles Johnsons, Rush Limbaughs and Powerlines of the world.

Update [2005-6-19 23:12:38 by Armando]: Neil Cavuto of Faux say that those of us who oppose torture in all cases, have forgotten who the enemy is, caring more about them than our own. No Neil, we are fighting for the soul of our country. You and your ilk would turn us into terrorists - engaging in systematic torture. That is not our country. We are not terrorists. You Neil Cavuto, want to make our country terrorists. We fight against you and your ilk.

 
If people only knew the facts, they would not be fighting for the 'RIGHT' to be screwed over.
