Gus diZerega's list of torture posts

I list below some of the best of the pieces that have appeared in the blogosphere, especially when you follow up on links (as I did to list the LA Times piece).

If you find my list useful I encourage you to pass it on to others.

Glenn Greenwald, a first amendment attorney, has at least four excellent pieces:

Eschaton (Atrios), one of the best moderate progressive blogs, listed the contents of Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama's speeches against the legislation. I particularly liked Clinton comparing this crowd with George Washington.

And some conservatives still remember that their care for the constitution and genuine values amounts to more than pretty packaging. See John Cole, an intelligent conservative Republican at Balloon Juice
