How Democrats should make a popular speak-out against waterboarding

Ken Burns and PBS just recently presented us with his wonderful new documentary on World War II, reminding us what we fought against, as well as what effort and sacrifice we made to fight against the Nazis and Japanese imperialists.

Well, they both engaged in waterboarding.

Screw the right-wing wingnut blogosphere. If Rudy needs to be called a Nazi, he needs to be called a Nazi. Tie in Burns’ documentary to remind people of just who the Nazis were, and you can beat him (and other pro-torture Rethugs) over the head.

Are the Democrats going to be menschen or mice on this one?
