Mr McCain said he would be happy to support this war for another 100  
years. You can draw your own conclusions.

Physicians for Human Rights is not a media outlet, they are a Nobel  
Peace Prize-winning organization dedicated to human rights. They  
published this piece based on interviews and physical examination of  
11 people tortured at Gitmo, who were released after years of being  
tortured without ever being charged.

Here is the direct link again.      http://www.physiciansforhumanrights.org/ 
            I included the WaPo piece because it was easier reading,  
but if you prefer to read it directly, it is the link at the top of  
the page.

The United States of America is torturing people, and everyday we let  
it happen we become more and more depraved as a civilization.  If  
that's the result of lockstepping, I'll keep being the odd man out,  
thanks.
