Roxanne. I read your editorial in the Greenville Journal in response to mine. I don't agree with you but defend your right to voice your opinions. It's interesting to note that when I write a piece from "The Middle" I hear from both of the far right and left wings. The far right call me a soft lefty and the far left say I'm out there on the far right. In my opinion the Country is run from the "middle", middle class, middle income and middle minded. There's really not much difference between the moderate left and the moderate right, between the 40 yard lines so to speak. My thoughts, taken from experience, regarding waterboarding is my opinion. I'm totally against torture of any kind. It doesn't work. Period. Waterboarding never injured anyone. It's a psychological bluff. The far right call for gouging their eyes out and the far left call for cookies and tea. I say it's somewhere in between. I respect your opinion on waterboarding, you could be correct. A slightly softer tone might convince some of the folks in the middle, instead you are preaching to the choir, a small group on the far left. Sincerely, Doug Greenlaw
