http://www.pbs.org/billmoyers BILL MOYERS JOURNAL goes inside last week's hearings on torture in Congress and gets perspective from journalist Jane Mayer on the debate over whether the U.S. sanctioned torture to prosecute the war on terror. Mayer's recent book, THE DARK SIDE: THE INSIDE STORY OF HOW THE WAR ON TERROR TURNED INTO A WAR ON AMERICAN IDEALS, documents the war on terror and the struggle over whether the president should have limitless power to wage it. Also on the program, former Democratic Senator Ernest F. "Fritz" Hollings gives his views on the stranglehold of money on Washington. "You've got to untie the money knot," he tells Moyers. "Then...the government will begin to work." Airs Friday, July 25, at 9p.m. on PBS (check local listings). For more: http://www.pbs.org/billmoyers

Jul 24, 2008 - What "American Ideals?" The ones that spawned the genocidal Morgentheau Plan? The ones that financed genocidal Communism for the greater part of a Century? The ones that saved France from those "horrible Nazis" by blowing up large sections of it? This is nothing new.

Jul 28, 2008 - Mccain was tortured when he was a POW and he said he lied just so they would stop... Didn't work on him. The question of if tortured should be used is one thing, continuing to lie about the fact you do it is another.
