Whoever DK from Talking Points Memo is, he/she keeps hitting it out of the ballpark:
If you were to pick the single greatest hypocrisy of the Bush Presidency, wouldn’t it have to be this: that the man who ostentatiously claims Jesus as his favorite philosopher (he of “do unto others as ye would have them do unto you” fame) would say, in all seriousness, “Common Article III says that there will be no outrages upon human dignity. It’s very vague. “What does that mean, ‘outrages upon human dignity’?”
It saddens me deeply that there are large parts of the church in America who continue to support a man who is arguing over the definition of “is” when it comes to torture. Reasonable people can disagree when it comes to whether it is important to “stay the course” in Iraq or pull out, but I cannot find any reasonable basis for a Christian belief that torture, in any form, is ever justified.
