Political update!

Demand Alito not be confirmed.

Don't let him make the laws. He doesn't deserve to have that kind of power, based on his past decisions.

Support the McCain amendment.

Directed at stopping torture, it's especially relevant right now thanks to the 'extraordinary rendition' case of Khaled El-Masri, a German citizen who was kidnapped during a vacation and transported, or “rendered,” to Afghanistan where he was drugged, beaten and held in secret for five months.

Darn, I wish you posted this before. One of the questions on my poli sci quiz was the word for sending US captured "terrorists" to our prisons in other countries, ie rendition. I wrote "torture outsourcing." Harhar.
