Support torture and "legitimate" interrogation techniques - defeat McCain amendment

when you're on newsmax' email list, you never know what kind of offal you're going to find in your inbox... this just in from the "center for individual freedom," another innocuously named, far-right front group...

Dear Friend:

"Sen. John McCain... said Sunday he will refuse to yield on his demands that the White House agree with his proposed ban on the use of torture to extract information from suspected terrorists."

"'I won't,' he said on NBC's 'Meet the Press' when asked whether he would compromise with the Bush administration. He is insisting on his language... "

- Associated Press -

McCain's comments were a slap in the face and they were directed at YOU!

As you know, several weeks ago, McCain snookered his Senate colleagues into approving an amendment to the defense appropriations bill, claiming that the amendment would prohibit torture against terrorists.

But McCain's FLAWED amendment does more than 'prohibit torture.' It prohibits legitimate interrogation techniques -- interrogation techniques that have foiled at least ten terrorist plots and have saved countless American lives.

When we alerted you to this dangerous McCain amendment -- YOU flooded Members of the Senate with your Blast Faxes -- demanding that they strip it from the bill.

And McCain heard you loud and clear -- his statement above is HIS direct response to YOUR hard work and efforts!

YOU called McCain on the negative consequences of his amendment. And, instead of admitting that it is flawed and could put American lives in grave danger, Senator McCain drew a line in the sand and dared you to respond.

American lives are at stake and we've come too far to lose this battle now.

That's why I'm asking you one last time to make your voice heard and demand that our legislators NOT cave in to the grandstanding of John McCain!

The Conference Committee vote on this amendment is expected any day now... so please make your voice heard RIGHT AWAY!

if you would like to add your voice to the clamor, please feel free... as for me, i think i will just head to the bathroom and barf up my breakfast...
