Cancel your Trib subscription
Listen to this clip from the latest On the Media. Our local paper’s policy regarding waterboarding is disgusting; almost as disgusting is Randy Weissman’s idiotic justification for the policy. (An aside: if “drowning” means death by submersion, why do we have useless phrases like “death by drowning”?)
Waterboarding is torture. The war crimes of the Bush administration are horrifying. Why do people like this insist on giving them a pass? I’m ashamed of our nation’s behavior—and our general ambivalence regarding this issue.
I’ve canceled our subscription to the Chicago Tribune. I hope you do, too—or at least let Mr. Weissman know what you think about his dissembling.
