Torture Article

Dear Editor,
I am writing to respond to your article about torture. I found this article very interesting and eye opening. At the same however, I was not surprised at all by the articles acusation of Bush and other members of his council that they gave permission for the torturing. Torturing has always been a means by which countrys get information and laws will not ever stop this no matter what. There will always be questionable ways in which we get information the question is, who will do it? America needs to realize that the government is innocent of nothing and that they will go to any means to get their way. Until we do realize this then things like this are going to keep happening and we have to face the facts that we can't do anything about it.

Musica!

So I'm going to write about the song that I shared with the class.
I brought in Dear Mr. President by Pink, and I hoped everyone enjoyed it. It is a very controversial political song and I believe the message is very important. I believe the message behing this song is that it is important as citizens of the United States to ask our president questions about his actions. Our current president has caused more controversy than any other president in history and is undoubtabley the most hated and ridiculed. Bush has no right to be in office and bringing this country down. He has caused the deaths of every soldier in Iraq by going into a war that never should have started in the first place. I think everyone should listen to this song and really think about who is our president and if he should really be there.
