Torture Is Wrong

Torture Is Wrong

The National Religious Campaign Against Torture ran a full page ad in the NY Times on Tuesday. Here is the NRCAT home page. Here is a beginning list of events in the campaign, hosted by the Friends Committee on National Legislation. Most of the events are NYC based though new submissions are invited. National Call In Day is June 23.

To quote a favorite priest I knew: Give a damn!

    I don’t read the Times often, but I did speak at the National QUIT conference in Greensboro 10 days ago. There were many folks there who had been planning this advertisement. They are serious, as we all should be, about ending torture once and for all. Please support them in any way you can.

    Bob, I looked for an address to get the design of the sign. It looks like there’s a logo in the middle of it. We in Marin could pay for a couple done out here but having the same design would be great. Do you have a good contact name?

Words for Acts

An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
