NRCAT statement of conscience

If you’re concerned about reports of the use of torture in the war on terror then you might consider endorsing the National Religious Coaltion Against Torture‘s “Statement of Conscience.” I’ve mentioned this before, but recently received an e-mail saying that they’re aiming to have 50,000 signatures by mid-January.

You can view and endorse the statement here. I know I would make a lousy political activist because I’m always at least a little bit skeptical that these sorts of things will have any effect, but, hey, couldn’t hurt, right?

  1. Let America abolish torture now — without exceptions.

    I won’t sign it because of statements like this. Is it meant to imply that American should abolish torture everywhere, in the same way that the British abolished the international slave trade in the 19th century—that is, by use of force? 😉
