This blog is my personal blog, I will admit the last few days have been hard on me, since the release of the CIA report detailing our use of torture after 9/11 was so hard to hear. Of course I have saw and known the world has many things that our very in-human. Since the release of this report to hear people attempt to justify, talk about results, what may be prevented, what level, legal concepts, this is such a conformation of our lost direction of who we our as a people, humans and a nation. To run a large program to torture out of fear, out of revenge, out of the desire to prove that to hit us as a nation in war meant we put away all we our as a people, what we stand for and who we clam to be. Over 11 years ago, my first blog here blog in 2007 where I detailed the rejection of a wars of choose, out of fear to be hit, where to be hit hurts, but will not destroy us. To put away everything and our humanity, now that will surly destroy us. Its about our morality and being human, the path we choose as a people will effect us and our future, our children and grand children !
