GREAT article about dis-belief in the US... 2007-12-12 17:32:00 This Economist article is simply astounding - a must read for religious and non.

Bill-O supporting torture. 2007-12-12 15:44:00 Wow - now as much as I detest water boarding and the thought of the US implementing torture, I must say I am in favor of this particular instance.
