We are all torturers

Get the word out on Torture Awareness Month - people need to know what atrocities are being committed in our country's name:

Also check out this blog "Against the War on Terror" - it's time we dispelled the idea that we can ever win this never-ending "War on Terror." It's like having a field full of dandelions and trying to eradicate them by taking a weed-whacker to a couple tufts of them. Until we get at the roots of terror (and our own nation's actions contributing to it) and it's appeal to disgruntled youth, it will only get worse.

Here's a snippet of their mission statement:
The war on terror is more than just another public policy. It is an attempt to make security the highest goal of American life. Our leaders have reduced politics to questions of mere survival, in which even the smallest risks are viewed as overriding threats to national existence. We at Against the War on Terror aim to challenge this view and the apparent need to eliminate fear itself....We reject the very premise of the war on terror....
