to the Editor: President Bush persists in making this a more dangerous world not only for our own servicemen and servicewomen, but for all American diplomats, businessmen and tourists. By reserving the power to use unspecified "interrogation techniques" to the CIA, he fosters the belief that the U.S. uses torture. We can therefore expect that Americans--whether prisoners of war or otherwise detained--will face torture ourselves. The ninety-nine percent of Americans who travel with neither personal bodyguards nor secret service protection look forward to inaugurating a government which gives a damn.Barry Levine1142 Brown AveLafayette, CA 94549
