I know it’s “Peace on Earth, Good Will To Man,” time, but I have seen an editorial cartoon by Michael Ramirez on torture in both the Chicago Tribune and Elgin’s Courier News.

There is a drawing of the U.S. Capitol.

In a balloon is the following, presumably from some member of the Democratic Party:

“We would never pour water up someone’s nose for 30 seconds to prevent 9/11 and save 2.995 lives.”

That pretty well lays out the stakes, doesn’t it?
