In September 2006 New Hampshire was brought to shame when all four of our Washington delegates voted in favor of the Military Commissions Act.

Next Tuesday two of these men are asking New Hampshire voters to send them back to Washington. Well, I watched the debates with their challengers. I watched as the newsmen (and I believe they were all men) asked their typical questions: what will you do about taxes, healthcare, the war....

Not one asked about torture. Nobody mentioned the congressional votes that handed the Executive--the occupier of the Oval Office--unilateral power in deciding who among us can be considered an enemy, who among us can be indefinitely detained and tortured, while never having any rights to question that detention or to have legal representation. The Military Commissions Act never came up. The silence deafened me.

Is this the America you believe in?
