Is torture to be the official policy of the United States? I was a child during World War 2 and still remember the stories of atrocities practiced by Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.
 
Have we now become the barbarians that we fought against? Have we descended into the hell of evil treatment of those that are considered enemies?
 
Our so-called leadership claims to be "Christian". Would Jesus condone "waterboarding" and other horrors? I don't think so.
