QOD: Write to a dictator to stop torture.

Your Excellent Majesty, High Ruler of All You Survey,

Come on, now. Don’t you think it’s time to stop all the nastiness? Political prisoners are people, too. They deserve to have lawyers, for instance, and to have clear and TRUE charges in place BEFORE arrest. Plus, it’s just not cool to keep them in dank cells for months and months without notice to their families, and thus, without visitation from the same. This whole business of torture has to go as well. After all, you should be an example to the world, don’t you think?

Let’s face it, even if you ARE from Texas, it’s time to halt this particular naughtiness.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Citizen (name withheld to prevent my ending up in one of those cells)
