Letter to BBC re: the term "Rebel" describing McCain, Graham & Warner

[cui bono]

Today I wanted to see what the UK was saying about BushCo's torturous desires and much to my dismay found that the BBC is also using the term rebel to describe McCain, Graham & Warner. I wouldn't have thought they would do that, so I sent them off this email:


I am extremely disturbed at your use of the term "rebel" when describing the only Republicans in our Congress who had the decency to stand up for human rights and decency in regards to Bush's despicable torture agenda. I would expect that from our corporate owned, administration pandering media, but I certainly expect more from the BBC. Or at least I did.

It's the people in our administration that are the rebels. They do not stand for what our country and constitution stands for and Bush and Cheney are off doing whatever they please regardless of what Congress signs into law and regardless of what our constitution declares. That is the behavior of a rebel. What McCain, Graham and Warner did (at least until they caved), with which the majority of the American people agreed, was try to stop this insane altering of our laws against torture, and that is what a public servant is supposed to do. They were not being rebellious, they were standing up for human rights, their constituents, the US Constitution and the Geneva Convention. How is that rebellious?

Please run an apology to these three Senators and to the American people who know that torture is the wrong way to go about things, and add a correction that it is the administration who are the rebels.

Sincerely,


Now to send off all those other emails I've been meaning to write... :mad:
