No Glory

One of the hazards of democracy is that if we endorse our government’s willingness to use torture, others will feel justified in holding we the people as responsible for it as our leaders. It’s unlikely that the billion Muslims on this planet will continue to see a distinction between themselves and the Islamic radicals if the people of America validate the illegal actions of this government and extend this administration’s power for four more years.

This is going to haunt our country forever. We unleashed the beast and I fear we will all pay a heavy price if we do not hold our leaders accountable.
