Torturing Mormons
Mike hasn't gotten pissed off in a while. This may help. From a July article in Vanity Fair:

It does seem that Mormonism's hands have been there are every turn of this sordid time in our country that embraces torture.
I'm hoping this bites Romney in the ass, and I may be writing the NYTimes editors to make sure they run the story at the appropriate time. But can't talk more, have to drive to bike rally. |

Mike is surprisingly uncharitable toward Romney, even while he cuts Hillary complete slack. Although Mike is intelligent enough for politics, I doubt he has the stomach for what it takes to be effective, given his strong philosophical leanings.

Mike was interested in Romney, to the point where he said he would consider sending him money, prior to his comment about doubling Gitmo. At that point, it appears that Mike has taken the stand that Romney has sinned against the greater light and cuts him no slack.

For me, no President will go far on the torture issue, because it doesn't sell presidencies, and it's a small ticket item. I doubt any of the candidates are really far apart on this issue. They will rely upon advisors as what is required and what is lawful.

Do we know if James Elmer Mitchell and Bruce Jessen are active members of the church? Do they have callings?
