Torture, and Democracy, the American Way

As Mark reported, a fair amount of the discussion Friday night centered around interrogation technology. Unfortunately, it's been made clear the last few days, U.S. Military Intelligence has been utilizing far more primitive techniques in Iraq. (Thank God for "veteran investigative journalist[s]" (old-timers) like Seymour Hersh!) For a particularly damaging indictment, see today's editorial in the Army Times.

The Kerry Campaign has responded with an online petition for Rumsfeld's resignation which has already garnered over 250,000 signatures. If this works, will it mark a new milestone for digital democracy?
