24. A few decent Republican senators...
McCain, Warner, Graham, are the ones being acknowledged as objecting to scraping the Geneva Convention, Article 3 and allowing torture. Not so widely publicized is the fact that Collins, Snowe, Spector, Chafee, have also come out against it.

To be sure this would be unconstitutional and the Supreme Court would rule it so. But it is appalling to realize that there are Bushistas so bent on covering their criminal asses that they are willing to promote legislation legalizing torture. Whatever happened to morality in this country? Have we really sunk this low?

I would hope that the electorate will wake up and send many of these folks packing this November. Then we should impeach Bush, Cheney, and Company and turn them over to the Hague for trial as war criminals! This is the only way that America can cleanse itself IMO.
