Great thoughts... <BR/><BR/>For me there can be no doubt and no compromise on torture. It's no, never, can't. It's not a slippery slope, it's a trapdoor.<BR/><BR/>I'm German, born in the late 60s and when I was a child my parents' generation was in awe of the Americans who came - and after kicking the Nazis' ass - then did their best to help the German population. The US was seen as the best friend a nation could have and it was this sentiment that was part of my decision to move to the US.<BR/><BR/>Ironically, I've now spent the last eight years financing US torture camps with my own taxes... <BR/><BR/>I can only hope that the next president will put the US back on track. This country has to wake up and see what fear has done to their soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
