We torture? You have to be kidding! I'M SICK OF IT!!

After reading Bernadette O'Brien's June 5th letter in the Daily News bashing Americans for condoning torture by allowing it to continue, I had to respond. You must be kidding, right? Instead of regurgitating what the media is feeding you, why not look at the truth, (facts), or should we simply go by what were feeling at the moment and the truth be damned? Here is the truth; We have already tried and convicted those responsible in the Abu Grab "so-called" abuse while Saddam Hussein sits un indicted in a jail. Now, you wish to talk about abuse, atrocities? Here some truth for you; Saddam Hussein would build swimming pools and fill them with acid. He would them lower screaming people into them slowly feet first and pull out a skeleton. He would video tape this to watch later for fun. His sons were worse yet. How about the torture that occurs in China? Korea? North Vietnam? Let me throw a dart at the globe and hit a country that REALLY tortures their prisoners. With all due respect, how dare you sit there, condemn Americans who in comparison are the most compassionate people on the face of this planet while atrocities are going on as I write this letter. This idea of "Blame America First" must stop if we are to continue as a sovereign nation.
