country, I was able to watch CNN all day as the news rolled out from the
White House that the Obama administration was making an about face, and
deciding to fight the court order to release the torture photos.
It's an extraordinary story, and people are right to be
outraged.<BR></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Because I'll tell you, the
neo-cons and right wing torture fans are creating public opnion in favor
of torture. The Reaganite Accuracy in Media came out with a full page ad
in the New York Times today, from the "Torture Truth Project." The
ad says it's "A Grassroots Plea To the U.S. New Media. Stop
Misleading The World That Our Country Condones Torture." And
further, "By your continual use of the word "torture" to describe these
interrogation techniques you have been misleading the world that the
United States condones techniques of barbarous cruelty. The
consequences could be horrendous....We are losing the goodwill of people
across the world and you are aiding al Qaida in recruiting terrorists
for future attacks on America." (14 May, 2009).<BR></SPAN></P>

width=220 align=left>We might think that what's making the people of the
world outrages is that the US actually <I>does</I> torture! As to
Obama's argument that releasing the photos would unleash "Anti-American"
opinion in the world, my inbox is full on that one. </SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">From Cindy Sheehan:"First of all:
The Robber Class couldn't care less about our soldiers in the
field. Secondly: Being in the field for lies is what endangers
them. Thirdly: It's the existence of torture, which everyone knows
about, that endangers our soldiers, not pics of the torture.
Finally: The Democrats are co-equally responsible with the Republicans.
They're all war criminals." Cindy pointed out in 2007 that Nancy
Pelosi had been briefed on the torture in 2002.<BR></SPAN></P>
