For once. According to to some knowledgeable Jawas the A.C.L.U. is taking time out from undermining American values to sue a Kuwaiti couple who kept three Indian women as slaves while the husband was attached to the Kuwaiti embassy in the nations capital. The women were freed when one of the women, after a particularly vicious beating, approached 62 year old Hector Rodriguez and asked him if he was a Christian. She correctly in this case assumed a Christian would help her.
In many cases however Americans, Christian or not, don’t offer help to the slaves who are secreted away in this country, often victims of cultural practices like Islamic slavery that our liberal sensibilities make us turn a blind eye toward, lest we seem “intolerant.” Groups like the American Anti-Slavery Group work hard to bring attention to the plight of the hundreds of thousands of victims kept in inhuman bondage, many in our own country, but they face an uphill battle. Support them in their fight to free the most helpless among us.
What if we finally decide that torture, even if called enhanced interrogation techniques, is self-destructive and produces no useful information and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil?
What if it was one of your family members who was still alive due to the “torture'”we used to break plots?
