Faithful Against Torture - Citizens for Global Solutions For Globa

As a matter of law and ethics, it should be clear and unequivocal that torture is an unacceptable act that can never be justified. Unfortunately, the Bush administration has used the war on terror as an opportunity to label the Geneva Conventions "quaint" and engage in a damaging course of action which justifies torture as a necessary instrument of war. In this book, religious leaders who represent a broad range of faith traditions seek to make the moral case against torture. Our hope is that by amplifying the voices of the faithful, we can show that there is a consensus against torture in this country.
