But its right here that the resemblance is most apparent. I simply cannot believe that the government of this country is engaged in an effort quite this intense to find a way torture those we consider our enemies. I was happy to see again today yet another Federal Court decision striking at the heart of what can only be called the fuehrerprinzip, this time concerning warrentless wiretapping. But this torture business absolutely naseates. My family came to New England from Bristol in the old country in 1639. We've supplied either England or the United States with soldiers, sailors or airman in every conflict we've experienced since the French and Indian War. Their memory is utterly disgraced by the ill disguised attempts at a coup d'etat by these people. They fought for a Republic not a dictatorship.John Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05116334409464724643noreply@blogger.com
