		<description><![CDATA[Torture is not a partisan issue. It is an issue of conscience. It&#8217;s not about citing extreme circumstances, but about applying a universal standard of human ethics. It&#8217;s not about finding ways to win the war on terrorism, but about not losing our souls in the process. Torture is not a partisan issue. Consider the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is the rule of law that protects citizens and nations from tyranny. When we agree together to adhere to a law that binds both of us/all of us then we have a standard to which both of us/all of us are held accountable, and a means to address grievances with each other. When one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday the Pentagon released a set of revised guidelines for the interrogation of all detainees. It amounts to a formal acknowledgement that in the &#8220;war on terror&#8221; we have sometimes overstepped the boundaries of decency and humanity, and have not provided our field operatives a clear sense of what where those boundaries are.
