Taking the House floor to demand an investigation of the Foley matter was a true act of courage. This is the type of leadership that the U.S. so desperately needs. People that are willing to stand up for what is right, and not just act as a voice for the multi-billion dollar industries.

Pornography is a growing industry with sales 2 years ago exceeding (in the US alone) 10 billion dollars (source). And how does the Republican Party address the issue?

"The prospect of the porn star in the same room with the president raised a lot of eyebrows.

"Christian evangelical leaders called for an explanation. The only one they got, at least in public, was from a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, who said: 'We'll take that money and use it to elect more Republicans.'" (Source)

So is the moral message from the Republican Party that a woman’s right to choose is immoral, however it is ok to solicit sex?

Is that why the Senate approved legislation this week entitled the “Military Commissions Act of 2006;" allows the president to identify anyone, including an American citizen, as an “enemy combatant”; to imprison them indefinitely; to reinterpret the Geneva Conventions and to torture them if they choose, without any oversight by any court, and strips the courts of any jurisdiction to challenge this interpretation?

That seems consistent with the tyranny of silence.
