The statement, published today in newspapers nationwide, marks the official launch of a new organization called the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, which was formed in response to the human rights abuse allegations at U.S.-run detention centers in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

You'll notice they didn't think twice about torture which has been going on for thousands of years in Muslim countries and communist countries, but the second they hear an allegation that some kind of pain is being inflicted upon someone by the United States military, they form a new organization to draw attention to it, solely for the purpose of undermining our military.

They don't care about "torture", they just hate the United States of America and all it stands for.

What I'd like to see from these groups is the drafting of a new ecumenical statement, stating something like "we will not support the flying of commercial airliners into skyscrapers with the express purpose of killing civilians on the basis of nationality and geographic location, nor religions that stand up and applaud when such actions occur."

That's because they're American evangelicals. What Muslim fanatics do has no bearing on how we behave. American evangelical pastors have an obligation to ensure American warriors fight morally - even if our enemies do not.
