Speak Out Against Torture

NO TORTURE. NO EXCEPTIONS. The issue of torture has been much in the news lately including questions about whether the U.S. should engage in torture. For the followers of a tortured and crucified Savior, torture is unambiguously wrong. Whether physical or psychological, torture is destructive of the human spirit for both the tortured person and the torturer. Moreover, intelligence experts question whether information derived through torture is useful, and these practices degrade the standing of the U.S. as a beacon of democracy and weaken its moral authority at home and abroad.

Please sign the Statement of Conscience Against Torture and declare your opposition to U.S.-sponsored torture.
