LTTE to the papers (NYT and SD Union) Red Cross Report
I just fired this to both...



To the Editor,

The report published over the weekend on our treatment of prisoners at Guantamo leaves me with only one conclusion: The men and women in charge of this administration have now turned this nation into a Rogue State. Moreover they are war criminals just waiting for indictment. There was a day when enemy combatants surrendered to us, because they knew we would treat them right. Those days are now long gone.

There is no other way of stating this, we are now living Reinhold Nieburh's paradox. Some of us are indeed moral people, living in an amoral and very sick society. After all, some in the media will justify this as well. Well, may God have mercy on our souls as this nation continues its downward spiral towards further violations of any known and accepted ethical standards. How far, I must ask, are we from the horrors of World War Two?

I have no choice but to speak, and rise my voice. Evil only triumphs when men and women of conscience refuse to speak up!

Sincerely,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
