Panel OK's torture in detention of enemies

Well, this is just horrible...

Panel OK's torture in detention of enemies: "US military panels reviewing the detention of foreigners as enemy combatants are allowed to use evidence gained by torture in deciding whether to keep them imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the government conceded in court yesterday."

Why don't people who are concerned about "moral values" raise objections to real issues like this! I think this speaks more to the moral fabric of our country than what people choose to do in their private lives.

American Coastopia Bumper Stickers.

Someone has designed American Coastopia Bumper Stickers! Just in time for the holiday season. I think they'd make great stocking stuffers, don't you.

The site owner says, "I'm soliciting interest. Pick one and send me a note below with how many you want. They will probably cost about $1 each. Until ACD are issued, we'll need to use USD."
