    Madam Secretary,

    You have endorsed torture, war with Iraq and who knows what else.

    Why should I believe you when you now want to spin the Bush Doctrine of we don't talk to our enemies?

    Other than being deliriously happy when you "end justifies the means" crowd are replaced I'm afraid I will be addicted to my anger and have no one to lay it on.
