Dershowitz endorsement of Kerry?

[TexasSissy]

A couple of days ago I read an article or open letter from Alan Dershowitz to Jewish people, endorsing Kerry. Now I can't find that article anywhere, either in my e-mail or in a Google search. I can't remember WHERE I read it (it was online, but whether it was a newspaper or magazine or media online, I don't know).

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Anyone know where I can find this article or letter?

Bush is the one who supports torture.

Dershowitz: Torture could be justified

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Following the capture of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the question has become whether the senior al Qaeda leader will reveal key information about the terrorist network. If he doesn't, should he be tortured to make him tell what he knows?

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer posed this question to noted author and Harvard University law professor Alan Dershowitz and Ken Roth, the executive director of Human Rights Watch.

DERSHOWITZ: I don't think so. This is not the ticking-bomb terrorist case, at least so far as we know. Of course, the difficult question is the chicken-egg question: We won't know if he is a ticking-bomb terrorist unless he provides us information, and he's not likely to provide information unless we use certain extreme measures.

My basic point, though, is we should never under any circumstances allow low-level people to administer torture. If torture is going to be administered as a last resort in the ticking-bomb case, to save enormous numbers of lives, it ought to be done openly, with accountability, with approval by the president of the United States or by a Supreme Court justice. I don't think we're in that situation in this case.
