Should civilized nations use "Enhanced Interrogation" techni
Quote:Oh, and linked from the front page of DailyKos: Liberals organizing a vigil (not a protest, which would be nonsensical) for those imprisoned in Iran for two physicians whose crime was apparently treating patients with AIDS. The case of Roxana Saberi is specifically mentioned as a similar case of human rights violation.

Still convinced that liberals NEVER care about these things?

Well, at least they found a way to find a cause, like doctors treating AIDS, or hanging homosexuals, that they could rally around. It is lucky for the doctors they were not merely cosmetic surgeons. Now, how do we get them to rally around ending the practice like stoning people who are accused of adultery? It is the cusp of the issue of Shariah Law and its use, as opposed to "western laws" which we are more familiar. We no longer put people in stocks, or "draw and quarter" people, or publicly hang people, or do many of the barbaric punishments that were once practiced in the early US and Europe. How do we get Iran to evolve to a more humane understanding of crime and punishment?
