No Torture. No Exceptions. "The aim of this initiative is to join together those who oppose torture into a formidable force with a common goal: mobilizing national grassroots action to urge the Presidential candidates and both political parties to adopt “Reject Torture” planks in their party platforms."
I found this via digby. "So this is about the Democrats, and specifically the Democratic party platform, which should, in my view, come out clearly and without hedging, against torture. If the Democratic party can't stand up unequivocally for that principle, then I'm afraid all of its purported devotion to freedom, equality and social justice is pretty weak gruel. As Dick Cheney would say, this is a 'no brainer.'"
