Irony

I think the funniest thing that is taking place right now in the world of the media is the presence of Mr. Ventura in the spotlight. Why is it amusing? One of the people who has actually done combat time, been waterboarded (in training), and served in high office in this country is putting out a very strong argument against torture. His notion: if this country is going to stand for some principles then you can´t do this. Exactly, but what is scary is that the right wing seems totally happy with torture under the excuse that they were afraid of a ticking time bomb. Is it ok to torture someone when you are afraid? Seems an easy way out.

The democrats are losing their chance to make a statement by helping to close Guantanamo Bay. They are also losing their credibility as a strong party. Keep it up and we´ve blown the next election.
