		<description><![CDATA[I attach below an excerpt from a forwarded e mail I received the other day &#8230; &#8230; when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don&#8217;t care.

		<description><![CDATA[It is good, very good, to hear General Petraeus talk about dignity, respect, and integrity, values, law, and doing what is right. It is good to hear him take an unequivocal stand against torture, both because it is wrong and because it serves no useful purpose. It is good to hear him emphasize the first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some thoughts provoked by a lecture I heard last Monday evening delivered by Dr. Louise Richardson. Her latest book: What Terrorists Want: Understanding the Enemy, Containing the Threat Dr. Richardson spoke of the importance of &#8220;following our own rules.&#8221; I agree.

When will we firmly repudiate the &#8220;anything goes when fighting the war on terrorism&#8221; mentality? When our leaders leave so much room for error &#8212; so much room for criminal and inhuman behavior &#8212; we must speak up and say, &#8220;No more!&#8221; Today [...]]]></description>
