By Stephen Zunes

…e Green Party and its likely nominee, former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, along with independent candidate Ralph Nader, are both using this issue to gain support at the expense of Obama.

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…s of biblical verses, what do we do? Well, we have to turn to our fundamental values and ask which reading makes sense in light of those values. By way of analogy, “thou shalt not kill” seems to admit of no exceptions—and yet, obviously it does, because other biblical verses discuss the law of war.

It is unconscionable that our social discourse about “moral values” should proceed without discussion of the obligation to protect the dignity and bodies of prisoners, no matter how dangerous or loathsome the acts they are purported to have carried out. And, in most instances we must say “purported”; as very few cases have been properly adjudicated. We have been treated to a generation of conservative pastors and para-church mini…
