We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we made.
Shamefully we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management.
Judges are appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. And it is our duty to ask questions on great issues that matter to the American people and to speak for them.
I hate to see a young man get ahead on the basis of a famous family name.
The torture and other sadistic abuses of prisoners in Iraq have done immense damage already to America's reputation in the world, and the worst may be yet to come. Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management.
