Rape v. “Torture”

An increasing part of me is in disbelief that we’re still having a national conversation about torture. Andrew Sullivan makes a great point about how labels really don’t change the morality of something.

One of the reasons I voted for Obama was so that our nation would stop justifying torture (and hopefully to prosecute those sorry souls that sullied my country’s reputation by doing so). I have great hope in Eric Holder’s prerogatives regarding the latter.
