Do it now.

Dear Senator,

I'm still trying to assimilate the idea that the Senate needs to pass a bill forbidding torture.

Besides being a useless means of gathering intelligence -- those being subjected to physical and psychological pain often lie in order to end the interrogation; in often misrepresented case of averting imminent danger (the '24' scenario) even if you know you have the right person (often it's impossible to know this) and you know that they have desirable information (also very difficult to know) the suspected individual only has to resist the interrogation as long as the "fuse" burns to accomplish the objective. (Not to mention the fact that the subject in these situations is likely to be willing to die to protect the terror mission.)

Please, WAKE UP! You're doing no good to our failing American experiment in democracy by supporting an irrational, illogical, and useless practice that has been frowned on since antiquity.

And it's just plain wrong.

Sincerely,
MarkWayne
