This disgusted republican urges you to call or email your U.S. representative today and urge him/her to vote to override the pres. veto of the torture act.  This act is specifically aimed at the CIA.  Our reputation around the world, and not to mention our own national values right here at home, are once again at stake.

All we’re asking is that the CIA follow the same guide lines as are set out in the U.S. Army Field Manual.  The manual expressly prohibits waterboarding detainees, forcing prisoners to perform sexual acts, and many other objectionable interrogation “techniques.  Even Gen. David Patraeus, the commanding general in Iraq, has said that the techniques outlined in the Army Field Manual “work effectively and humanely in eliciting information from detainees.”

Once again, we must stand up and assert what type of nation we are.  We do not torture and we expect not to have our own people tortured if they are ever detained in a war situation.
