Some days it is best not to read the newspaper. How shall we be faithful in the context of a Congress who has voted that Habeas Corpus does not apply to some people? When we read of the Canadian citizen who was removed from LaGuardia, interrogated, assumed guilty by the US and sent to Jordan and Syria where he was subsequently tortured? When a lecturer at Penn tells us that 80% of the world’s infectious diseases comes from unsafe water and that the UN is not going to make its 2015 goal to reduce by 50% the number of people who don’t have access to safe water. Even a Penn professor in criminology is saying we need to be talking about the morality of the death penalty! Then a seriously disturbed father of three goes to a school and murders three little girls before commits suicide and we reel about trying to get our heads around that! Let’s not forget the fox in the chicken house who was supposed to be protecting exploited children who was himself apparently sending illicit pornographic communication to young boys! And this just in, Condi did indeed get briefed by Tenet about an imminent attack and she dismissed it. And this is just the news today! How shall we be faithful today?? I think it might be best to say “One day at a time.” BD
