MN Chuck T. w/ Tackle Torture at the Top has LTE in Washington Post

(I loved how Chuck sent the email.. he had emailed Star Tribune last week with his LTE.. they didn't use it so he sent to Washington Post. )


"StarTribune? Pfffft! Try this."

Dignity and the rule of law for all

Wednesday, May 9, 5:08 PM

Regarding the May 3 front-page article “Deal on activist seems to unravel”:

So Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton tells 1.3 billion Chinese people that “all governments have to answer to their citizens’ aspirations for dignity and the rule of law, and that no nation can or should deny those rights.”If only she would pass that message on to two people closer to home — President Obama and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. — maybe we could begin to aspire to dignity and the rule of law for those who have been tortured in the name of the United States.
