There exists today a category of prisoners whom no one can visit, detainees who are isolated from outside visitors because, we are told, the �alternative methods of interrogation� being used against them are among our country�s �most sensitive national security secrets.�

I am ashamed. We should stop the torturing now.

We need to remember that Al Queda trains the jihadists to work the system. They are directed to say that they were tortured should they ever be captured. The Catholic left is so quick to believe the enemy, and automatically doubts the word of our own government.

Congratulations on your commendable moral stand in posting this article, which raises two key points: one, the victim of torture, whether innocent or guilty is still an icon of Christ; two, torture always turns the torturer into a beast. If we condone torture for exceptional circumstances, what is there to stop us from condoning beating other prisoners or even children for reprehensible behaviour? What would stop us from torturing doctors who have performed hundreds or thousands of abortions -perhaps more deaths than perpetrated by any terrorists? With torture, two lives are destroyed -the tortured and the torturer. The incarnation affirms the dignity of every human life, no matter how well or awfully lived. Torture therefore blasphemes Christ's union with all of humanity by arrogantly putting those who sponsor, condone or commit it above the self-revealing action of God's love for humanity in Jesus Christ. Are we so audacious as to say that we know better than God? May God in his mercy bring us to our senses so that our justice is always tempered with respect for humanity, no matter what the accusation or crime.
