From Making Light:

The nine Senators who voted against the anti-torture amendment:

1. Sen. Wayne Allard [R-Colorado]
2. Sen. Kit Bond [R-Missouri]
3. Sen. Tom Coburn [R-Oklahoma]
4. Sen. Thad Cochran [R-Mississippi]
5. Sen. John Cornyn [R-Texas]
6. Sen. James Inhofe [R-Oklahoma]
7. Sen. Pat Roberts [R-Kansas]
8. Sen. Jeff Sessions [R-Alabama]
9. Sen. Ted Stevens [R-Alaska]>

Henceforth to be known as the Nazgul.

I wrote a letter to my senator (Wayne Allard) asking him why he supports torture and how appalling this is. These senators need to know that people are upset that they support torture.

My Senator is also Allard. So nice to know others are writing! Sometimes you think you are the only one, and of course I know better, but Colorado gets lonely!

I plan to call his local office in the morning and at least hassle them.

Thank you for calling attention to these so-called people, David. Why do they hate America?

Well, if you're going to execute alleged terrorists without trial anyway, why not at least assist them in confessing their guilt and thus potentially save their souls from eternal damnation?

It takes a 5 year war or about 50 years of inevitable disintegration before a totalitarian regime comes to a grinding halt, unless of course the meek are prepared to rebel rather than keep their heads down...
