I'm pinch hitting for Randi.

Some moron called up and asked Randi why people who give their lives for a cause (i.e. them dirty Muslims) would have a problem with being tortured.

Well, that's a great question to ask our "troops," isn't it?

1. If there was and IQ test that people had to pass before they could

have access to things like telephones and the internet there would be a lot of people still talking into tin cans connected by string.

4. I oppose torture not for what it does to the tortured

but what it does to the torturer.

(Not that the victims of torture are any less victimized)
