Shocked and Appalled

[dewline]

I've been listening to Cross-Country Checkup on the radio this afternoon, and I have to admit to no small degree of shock at hearing one of the callers today admitting to being actually disgusted that the current Opposition in the House of Commons is opposed to torturing prisoners when our troops catch them alive in Afghanistan. Disgusted at the insistence that we adhere to basic human decency and international law.

How do we end up with fellow citizens like this?
