Player of the Week for Dec. 18, 2005 - John McCain
Senator John McCain is this week's Political Sports Player of the Week. The senator has achieved a rare success against the White House by getting the "Torture Admendment" passed without compromising to White House pressure. The man deserves one's respect, whatever your political leanings. He is strong-willed, principled and sincerely trying to improve our country. He truly feels that torture is wrong and that there are more effective ways to elicit information from prisoners. He, like many others, feel the U.S. should always hold itself to a higher standard. To engage in torture diminishes our standing in the world as a beacon of hope and justice. His success this past week serves as inspiration to all of us to do better, try harder and not to give in on what is right.
