The Donald doesn’t think that we torture enough
Torture. The Donald doesn’t think we have enough of it. Back in December of 2014 when the Senate Intelligence Committee released their report on the CIA’s use of torture, I wrote a four-part series about why we shouldn’t torture. The … Continue reading
We Should Say About This, “Never Again.”
I heard a story in the news today that the U.S. Senate was considering a bill to outlaw torture. They should most definitely do so. I’ve weighed in on the torture debate several times, and my feelings are unequivocal: the … Continue reading
