Torture is un-American

The case against torture of war prisoners that Congress and many of the American public have backed can be easily disproved by the experience of one of our own candidates for President John McCain. He was tortured by the North Vietnamese and forced to confess to being a war criminal and signed a document to that affect when he was a prisoner of war. He lied, of course, to stop the torture. That's the kind of false information we also get and will continue to get by using torturous methods. It's just simply un- American. signed Dick Flor , retired cartoonist
