Torture AgainA Poem by Bob BTorture. Yes, once again The topic of torture is in the news, And whether honor, humanity, And decency will win or lose.
Trump's nominee to head The CIA was put on the spot And couldn't answer the question whether Torture is immoral or not.
That was enough for Senator McCain to say his vote would be "Nay." A White House aide said, No big deal; "He is dying anyway."
No comment came from the White House. Was nobody shocked or annoyed? Or does this show how the Oval Office Operates in a moral void?
George Washington said that the treatment Of POWs should be humane. Of course, that was before Donald Trump-- When presidents tended to be more sane.
