Action Alert: NEVER - Faith Bloggers Against Torture

A number of us progressive faith bloggers have started a campaign called NEVER: Religious Bloggers Against Torture. 
The primary goal of the campaign to me is to get religious people much more engaged in speaking out against torture. We want to work in concert with existing efforts like the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, but I think religious bloggers also bring some unique to the table in terms of organizing online.
With recent revelations that decisions to torture were made at the very highest levels of the Bush administration, there has been almost no blowback, no voices that say "That's ridiculous, not in my country!" The time has come for people of faith to take action to ensure that this never happens again in our country.
As I mentioned last week, our first target is Mike Huckabee whose newly minted PAC has already endorsed a candidate who supports torture.
If you are interested in joining the effort let me know.

Okay...
Maybe I should have checked the link first. NeverTorture.com is now a parked page with a collection of links related to sexual sadism. Is the link right?
I'll check it out
I just came across this and I was happy to see it. I recently started a website called Muslims Against Torture, at http://www.AbolishTorture.com/
I believe that people of faith should be in the front lines in opposing torture and political imprisonment. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, all taught essential principles of compassion and kindness. What is the meaning of faith if we do not reach out to help those in pain?
I'll check out your NEVER campaign. Thank you.
