A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Tortured reading

I haven’t been blogging on the torture issue, mostly because others are doing it far more justice than I even could.

But, in case you aren’t already reading them, Glenn Greenwald, Andrew Sullivan, John Schwenkler, and Hilzoy at Obsidian Wings have been my regular sources of info and analysis on this.

Also see: this piece by Dahlia Lithwick. And here’s the website for the National Religious Campaign Against Torture.

UPDATE: First Things–yep, First Things–has a top-flight essay here.
