Amen. I've been saying this for a long time and catching flack for it. In this modern age, image and faith are everything. The dollar is backed not by gold but by the faith of people using it. It is the same with our form of government and our way of life. We succeed or fail on the world's belief that we are different and that we do things differently in a way that favors the rule of law, the rights of the individual, and yes our deeply held belief in the Judeo-Christian sense of justice.
Bush and company did to our moral standing what they did to our economic standing. Neither the collapse of the economy nor the collapse of our moral standing were mere hiccups in the flow of human events--it was a well engineered train wreck. We derailed ourselves from the tracks our forefathers set down for us to follow. Both parties share blame in this. Pelosi, despite her protestations, either looked the other way or was so incompetent that she missed out on what was an open secret. It was almost as if you had one party shoveling coal while the other party set the engine on full-bore. In either case, our former Cacey-Jones-In-Chief deserves the blame.

You summarized my feelings/thoughts about the current renaming of TORTURE.
