religion and torture

Via slacktivist, finally some Christian ethicists are expressing my view that torture is always wrong -- no exceptions. A breath of fresh air? Read on about the "more public and more vigorous lead " religious leaders are working towards in the debate of the issue of torture here. It seems to me that most of the religious leaders in the US, Canada, and Britain have taken far too long to speak out against torture as evil, carefully protecting their backsides again as usual.

Of course, everyone is afraid of terrorism, and it seems as well, that some groups of people are considered...ahem...a little less equal than us? Please!
