We saw in the Senate that any members who had served or have family that have served overwhelmingly supported this - now the house is trying to block this for Dick Cheney.<BR/>I don't think the general population understands what this does to us. First and foremost the people who have actually done this and forced our troops to conduct this torture are all free and clear here. Only the subordinates are being punished for acts that Cheney and his group have put together.<BR/>Secondly, this destroys our image. It is interesting to note that we used to lead the Human Rights effort, now we are trying to skirt it.<BR/>History will remember this and it puts all of our troops both currently serving and future in jeopardy.<BR/>Thanks for watching.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357452703449184604noreply@blogger.com
