4. There were heroes, we forget that as people bend over
backwards to try to excuse the torturers and those who protect them. It's a shame that we have become the kind of terrible society that no longer honors those with integrity. We hardly ever hear about them. But I remember the military prosecutors who refused to participate in the crime of prosecuting innocent people.

This society has truly lost its way. When torturers like Gen. Sanchez are warded medals, and men and women of integrity are ignored or worse, vilified, I think we can safely say that this is a very, very dark period in American history.

Thank you so much for posting this. The media will not. Men of conscience are an embarrassment to a society that has lost its morality.

K&R and I wish I could give it a 100 recs.
