LewRockwell.com Blog: Right-Wing Christians for Torture: "Cal Thomas, in a recent column, endorses torture of our 'enemies,' but at least he does not directly try to Christianize it. Those who read Thomas on a semi-regular basis know that he is one of the darlings of the so-called Religious Right, although in a book a few years ago, he got the ire of James Dobson because Thomas held that not all problems could be solved by electing politicians approved by Dobson and his gang.

This column, however, demonstrates that Thomas's moral compass is a bit skewed. He first refers to a Fox TV drama in which the hero of the story tortures an Arab who is involved with 'nuclear terrorism.' Alas, the U.S. authorities arrest our hero because he saved lives, but did it with torture."
