I dislike both retributive justice and torture stronly enough that I wince a bit even at casual rhetoric imagining the torture of human garbage such as Cheney.
I didn't inlclude "Stop Torture" in my hypothetical list of demands that would characterize a left worthy of itself because it seemed to me like a demand to Stop Burning Witches. The unacceptability of that, and of torture for any purpose, has long been taken for granted among civilized persons. It shouldn't be necessary to debate tha tpoint on a left list.
