Dear America, you cannot torture and kill everything that scares you.

Being scared is not justification for killing and torturing people, and that goes for both home and abroad.

Fear-mongering, hateful, paranoid, lying, cheating, self-loathing, thieving republicans.

and unfortunately, we can, and it is done in our names with our tax dollars.

It makes me sick to my stomach.

We haven't even tried yet.

Look; being scared is not only an excuse, but a justification; and it is no small part of the remedy to some. Just as people who are afraid are inclined to use terror, we can use torture to fight terror: our own. There is no point in looking for reliable information. The information we want the world to know is that if we catch your ass we are going to torture you, and not give you a trial, and torture you some more. Enjoy your moment of terror. Pop goes the weasel... your done; but If we catch you, blow your head off while you have the chance because your life will be a never ending holiday in hell. We have something better that terror. Terror is for amateurs. We have horror, and that will be your connection to all your old friends. When they think of you with us they will know horror, and it will touch their souls, and test their faith. Have a nice day!
Sweeney
