Dan Froomkin for The Washington Post comments about the United States' participation in torture: "Finding out what our government has been doing in our name, and openly debating our interrogation policies, should have been high on the national agenda since the disclosure of the shockingly inhumane treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib." However, genuine discourse has been stifled, Froomkin writes: "Bush shuts down discussion by declaring that 'we don't torture' - yet he won't even say how he defines the term."

KIVA: AN INNOVATIVE WAY TO HELP PEOPLE IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES - You can go to Kiva's website and lend to someone in the developing world who needs a loan for their business -- like raising goats, selling vegetables at market or making bricks. Each loan has a picture of the entrepreneur, a description of their business and how they plan to use the loan so you know exactly how your money is being spent -- and you get updates letting you know how the business is going. The best part is, when the entrepreneur pays back their loan you get your money back -- and Kiva's loans are managed by microfinance institutions on the ground who have a lot of experience doing this, so you can trust that your money is being handled responsibly.
