Help Us Stop The Torturers
One of the War Party's major themes has been the legitimacy and necessity of torture. The president's lawyers have laid down an entire legal theory that redefines torture out of existence and permits acts just short of life-threatening.
The right-wing media has made a point of defending and even glorifying torture as a weapon in the "war on terrorism," with Fox's popular television series 24 even going so far as to valorize the torturer in the character of Jack Bauer. Newsweek reported, "The lawyers designing interrogation techniques cited Jack Bauer more frequently than the Constitution."
Ever since 9/11, these monsters have had a free hand to rampage over Iraq, and they threaten to do the same to Iran. But now the tide is turning…
The country has turned against the War Party, and we like to think that we've done our part to expose their methods and aims. We've been in the front lines of the battle to take back our country from those who have heaped such dishonor on it. America's foreign policy of perpetual war has brought us to this point – that is the message we have been driving home to hundreds of thousands of readers each week, and it is gaining resonance. American foreign policy is torturing the world, and someone has to stand up and say so.
We've been doing that for over a decade, but we can't do it without your support. Unlike the torturers, who have access to the U.S. Treasury, we depend on voluntary – albeit tax-deductible – donations from our readers. Let's get rid of the torturers' regime and take our country back. Donate to Antiwar.com today.
Sorry for the interruption.
