Two days ago conservatives held nation-wide rallies to bitch about taxes (and President Obama). Yesterday the CIA memos on torture under the Bush admin were released pending a ACLU lawsuit. Where was the outrage over the CIA use of torture against "suspected" criminals; actions that were done in our name and tarnish the reputation and endanger the lives of our armed service members? Torture is not only "crimes against humanity" but are understood by many to be ineffectual. Rallies over taxes; silence over torture. Something is wrong with this picture. On the other hand, maybe those protesting taxes are indirectly saying they don't want to spend money to fund "secret prisons" and costly waterboards. Maybe they think the cost for the water is too high. I guess there is hope.
