Churchgoers more likely to back torture

I suppose I shouldn't be that shocked: this is the religion of the Inquisition, after all. But still, one wonders how some of the faithful reconcile their political position with the teachings of their "Prince of Peace"... without gagging.

The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new analysis.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
