'Abolish torture now,' religious leaders say: Inhumane treatment called morally intolerable

Twenty-seven U.S. religious figures, including some evangelical Christians, have endorsed a strong statement against the use of torture by the American military and security forces, saying “the soul of our nation” is at stake.

“Let America abolish torture now—without exceptions,” concluded the short statement by the National Religious Campaign Against Torture in an ad in the June 13 New York Times.
