Andrew Sullivan has really been the go to guy on the blogosphere in telling the story of Captain Ian Fishback, of the 82nd Airborne who is being "broken" by the Rumsfield military for telling the truth about our continual abuse of prisoners.
Fishback represents the heart and essence of America and we cannot let his sacrifice for this country fade away. Andrew Sullivan has set up a Aol account for support: supportfishback@aol.com
send an email to show your support for a true american. Reject the hideous policies of this administration.
"Do we sacrifice our ideals in order to improve security? Terrorism inspires fear and suppresses ideals like freedom and individual rights. Overcoming the fear posed by terrorist threats is a tremendous test of our courage. Will we confront danger and adversity in order to preserve our ideals, or will our courage and commitment to individual rights wither at the prospect of sacrifice? My response is simple. If we abandon our ideals in the face of adversity and agression, then those ideals were never really in our possession. I would rather die fighting than give up even the smallest part of the idea that is "America." Captain Ian Fishback
That is America.
