Alberto J. Mora

Editor,

Alberto J. Mora is a well meaning guy, and he is saying the right things. But he needs to read Alfred McCoy's "A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation, from the Cold War to the War on Terror", and he needs to understand that "we", meaning the "people" of the USA, are not the ones who are mongering fear and war and torture.

The American ruling class are desperate, because they feel the revenge of every innocent they have murdered, tortured, disappeared, or impoverished closing in on them. It is the ruthless, heartless criminals who stole America who have dispatched their hooligans to beat those ghosts away.

Everyman's atonement is not the issue here. Reclaiming the United States of America is.
