I'll remove this when it's old news. Here's the deal. I am responding to a general call to raise awareness of the proposed bill that will legalize torture. That's right. With no trial (as if torture alone weren't enough of a reason to oppose the bill), and with no chance for the courts (or anybody else) to intervene.

The call is simple: Link to the article about it and write about it in your blog. If it hits enough blogs, it hits the media. That's something that even a lazy armchair philosopher can do.

(No "mood" icon for once, because I try not to let politics get to me. To state an emotional reaction would make it more real. And I am not going to give those bastards the pleasure of making me miserable.)

Edit: It's law now, so I guess it won't be old news for quite a while. The tortures have in fact begun.

Cthulu needs to rise out of the earth and start eating Republicans.

When you cite things like this, you'll be more believable if you link to the actual bill (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d108:h.r.00010:).

Thanks! I was way too tired to think of that. It is now edited in.
