Letter: Senators too soft on interrogation

Sunday, Sept. 17, 2006 | 7:22 a.m.

I am so mad at the very few Republican senators who voted to lighten up on interrogations of terrorists. All of the Democratic senators agreed with four Republican senators on the Armed Services Committee to revise our rules on the interrogation of captured terrorists.

Human Rights Watch says that water boarding, cold rooms and loud music (such as Red Hot Chili Peppers music) is torture. Well maybe that music is, I would call it torture. All kidding aside, I would not call this torture.

Where have these senators been? On what planet? Pluto? Oops, I forgot it's not a planet any more.

These same senators most likely watch the same TV series, "24," and probably applaud every move the interrogators make on that show. What hypocrites they all are.
