I’m negotiating an interview for the podcast. While exchanging emails an article was suggested.

A piece about “Jack Mormons and Utah”. Of course that piques my interest! Hell, I live in Utah and of course I love a good bit of irony when it comes to living behind the Zion Curtain.

(After all, it takes a sense of humor to live where you’re not wanted.)

I found the article.

“I Can’t Help Myself: Must…Write…About…Elections…” by Carol King. It beautifully exposes some of the irony behind Mormon politics, ethics and morals. Also a few of the quirks and pokes that exist in this “Pretty Great State”.

Take a read. Really! It’s a damn worthwhile trip!

The current debate on the US Government using torture as a method of interrogation is interesting. Recent revelations about 26,000 members of the US Military Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training program serving as the control group used to define acceptable practice certainly added to the debate.

So, where is the line? 

According to guidelines created by the US government approved methods cannot produce “prolonged psychological harm” (and obviously, the same goes for prolonged physical harm).

Obviously data pulled from members of a volunteer program who have a “safe word” will not be a satisfactory control! 

So, I’m interested in what our community has to say about this. 

Are these methods “right” or “wrong”?  

I see us as “informal experts” on torture and the effects of torture, so I’d love to hear what you have to say.

Sound off.
