Heart-sickening, isn't it? Because you know there are those who will say, "Aw come on! Smearing a little bit of fake blood on a guy is hardly TORTURE!" Maybe by legal definitions it's not, but is that how we now gauge the permissability of our actions? I appreciate your analogy to the little Catholic girl -- there's a lot to think about there, and I plan to think about some of it from the pulpit on Palm Sunday. Yep, CC. Heart-sickening, isn’t it?

Knowing the Americans I know, it isn't a real shock that we were the first country to put someone on the moon. <br /><br />But damn it if we wouldn't be the ones ot figure out a new way of torture to sneak around the Geneva convention as well. <br /><br />CC Wow.
