Who Would Jesus Torture?

In respect of readers views on politics, etc., I write this, but but this is just over the top - and is a very current and pertinant issue. This is not a partisan issue, but a moral one. Congress made a bill to ban the use of torture by the USA, and Bush said he will veto it. Torture has been banned by international law since the Geneva convention, and the USA has not observed this. Look at this quote, taken from sojo.net:

"While I served in the Global War on Terror, the actions and statements of my leadership led me to believe that United States policy did not require application of the Geneva Conventions in Afghanistan or Iraq.... Despite my efforts, I have been unable to get clear, consistent answers from my leadership about what constitutes lawful and humane treatment of detainees. I am certain that this confusion contributed to a wide range of abuses including death threats, beatings, broken bones, murder, exposure to elements, extreme forced physical exertion, hostage-taking, stripping, sleep deprivation, and degrading treatment. I and troops under my command witnessed some of these abuses in both Afghanistan and Iraq."

- Captain Ian Fishback of the 82nd Airborne Division in a letter to Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), as printed in The Washington Post.

I would like us to consider this: Who Would Jesus Torture? I know a lot of people out there pray for Bush, as I do and we all should on occasion, and this may be something to pray for him about. he represents Christians (whether we like it or not). I think so many politicians are blurred in their thinking. May Shalom become incarnate in our communities~Thomas
