I remember shopping with my Republican evangelical MIL once and saying that I didn't want to buy anything from the Gap for my baby daughter. She asked me why, and I told her it was my issue, that I was upset about sweatshop labor. Her response still stuns me to this day: "Well, the less we know about that kind of stuff, the better, I suppose."

I would bet that she has the same attitude about torture. I find it interesting that, when I bring up anything like that, evangelicals change the subject.
