5. It is scary
to think we're in a facist's state but it began in 2000. *Sigh* All of it is going on now and Bush's new "budget plan" shows exactly that.

3. Lindsey Graham and John McCain
have been very outspoken against torture in Abu Ghraib. McCain has personal experience with torture that you and I have been fortunate enough to avoid. Do you really think he and other veterans who endured years of torture support such behavior simply because they are Republicans? Graham was the person who spoke most adamantly against torture at the Abu Ghraib hearings and during the Gonzales confirmation hearings. He voted to confirm Gonzalez, which is inexcusable. You comment, however, is prejudicial and ill-informed. Torture is a human rights issue far more important than partisan politics. Reducing it to simplistic partisan remarks diminishes the gravity of the problem.
Democrats likewise share responsibility for torture. It has taken place during Democratic as well as Republican administrations. The School of the Americas has been in existence for a very long time. Your comments, by implication, absolve Democrats for complicity in the US government's role of teaching and engaging in torture in Latin America and other nations throughout the world. We all share some responsibility for our government's actions in this regard.
