We have to go to war against the people who enable the gun violence, the people who stop us from keeping guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people, of felons, and that means the NRA leadership.
~ Jerrold Nadler
While the notion that torture works has been glorified in television shows and movies, the simple truth is this: torture has never been an effective interrogation method.
The forces that have worked hard to stoke populist anger against reform are the very ones that benefit from a health system which puts profits ahead of quality care for its patients.
It is not the role of Congress to decide legal cases between private parties. That is why we have courts.
Torture, including practices like waterboarding, violates the legal and moral standards of all civilized nations.
