Who are the moral relativists?
There's been so much torture defense and torture glorification lately, it makes me want to vomit.Dilawar was a shy, frail, uneducated cab driver who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time -- driving past a base that had been the target of a rocket attack earlier in the day. He was arrested by Afghan militiamen who turned him over to the Americans. This past February, the commander of that militia was himself arrested. He is suspected of attacking the base and turning over innocent men like Dilawar to the Americans in order to curry favor with our military. Before Dilawar's final interrogation, the one that finally killed him, most of the interrogators had already realized that he was innocent. We snatched an innocent young man out of his quiet life and beat him to death, even after we knew he was innocent. If you can say that sentence out loud and not cry, I don't want to know you.Let's hope history remembers which side of the political spectrum denounced these acts, and which side laughed and applauded.
