Real Christianity in action
(h/t to Donsu): Want to see what real Christianity looks like?
"Two Roman Catholic priests, Jesuit Fr. Steve Kelly and Franciscan Fr. Louie Vitale, are willing to go to prison to expose the fact that young soldiers at Fort Huachuca are being trained to torture. Further, one of those young soldiers has already committed suicide after going into the prisoners' cages as an interrogator in northern Iraq.
At the time of their arrest, Kelly, 58, and Vitale, 74, sought to deliver a letter to the military commander at Fort Huachuca. When they were halted, they knelt in prayer and were arrested.
This case, however, is not just about two priests charged with trespass. It is not just about Fort Huachuca.
These priests are armed with a message about the proliferation of U.S. torture, secret prisons, depleted uranium and prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba who are never charged. It is about torture and the United States violation of the Geneva Conventions."
Perhaps the conservatives who are busy clamoring for Libby to be pardoned might spare a few moments to protest this arrest? Or does moral outrage require a letter of support from the likes of Henry Kissinger first?
