zdashamberYay! My letter about habeas corpus that the Denver Post published Saturday is finally up on their website!
Following passage of the "it's ok to capture anyone the president claims supports terrorism, disappear them, torture them, and use the stuff they say while under torture as evidence" bill, I checked the voting and was particularly disgusted to see that Salazar was one of the 12 Democrats who voted for it. And I wished to do something more than boil about the bill on the internet, and the people/parts of California that I can reach are pretty solidly anti-torture. So, a letter to the editor of the main Colorado paper. I'm good at having slightly offbeat perspectives and being concise, and I was lucky enough that my perspective here was chosen for publication.
Go check it out! For those of you new to the LJ, see my last name connected to my first name!
