Sorry buddy...you specifically said "the left" in your last quote...nice try though.
Griff...to answer your question, yeah, that pretty much sums it up well. Don't think I was trying to associate torture, etc. with the right--I do think the left has taken a more pointed stance towards it, but in the end, I think both sides oppose it...and support it when convenient or deemed necessary.
Sheppsie, I try to make a distinction between being of the left and being a leftist. It may sound silly, but the term "leftist" to me suggests an extreme asshead, a la some of those wacky protestors in San Francisco, some Greenpeace types, or some of those that protest G8/WTO/IMF gatherings.
