A Progressive Perspective on Social Problems, Justice, and Liberty

Torture

Michael Ratner, President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Matthew Rothschild, Editor of The Progressive Magazine, called from the East coast to field questions such as: “What is going on in the heads of those running the show overseas?” “Why are Americans torturing people?” and “What are the moral issues inherent in today’s political events?” The world seems to be a crazy place now, and America has been making dubious and unscrupulous decisions for decades (centuries?). Should we be “the world’s moral leader?” Tune in to see if you agree with Mr. Ratner’s contention that we should, and have been failing miserably lately.
