emphatically i agree with you.
Torture
is not the way, not only by practical but by moral reasons: you don't
want to become what you want to defeat.
David, i think that we are what we want to defeat - while i don't mean this in particulars, i do mean this in general cultural movements - in a sense, the Geneva principles are cultural constraints constructed precisely because the cruel behaviors in Iraq occur more often than not. they are also principles the victors can use against the defeated -
Well, may be this has gone too much away of the purposes of the XMCA
forum, so I guess I should stop here...
i agree with Eugene - we are what we do - we at xmca - individually/collectively - are no doubt protesting in multiple channels of communication.
