Powell Opposes Torture, Needs Proofreader.

Retired General, Former Secretary of State and one-time House of Bush lapdog, Colin Powell, sent off a letter to Senator (and occasional Bush hugger) John McCain condemning Bush's drive to side-step the Supreme Court ruling that mandates adherence to the Geneva Conventions, which essentially said: torture = bad, secret prisons = bad, due process = good.

He lays out a well reasoned (if short) argument against torture, saying "The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism. To redefine Common Article III would add to those doubts. Furthermore, it would put our own troops at risk." Which leaves one to wonder, where was this opposition and supposed moral clarity in the run up to the war in Iraq and the initial snatching and torturing of these prisoners? Also, where is the missing "of" in the letter's final sentence? Probably with those WMDs or the African Yellowcake Uranium.
