intrinsically evil .....
‘Pope Paul VI promulgated Gaudium
et Spes (December 7, 1965), in which was written: "Furthermore, whatever
is opposed to life itself, such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion,
euthanasia or wilful self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the
human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts
to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman
living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution,
the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions,
where men are treated as mere tools for profit, rather than as free and
responsible persons; all these things and others of their like are infamies
indeed. They poison human society, but they do more harm to those who practice
them than those who suffer from the injury. Moreover, they are supreme dishonor
to the Creator."
Later, in Veritatis splendor, August 6, 1993, Pope Paul classified all of these acts as "intrinsically evil."’

‘Why are not Bush, Cheney and Blair on trial? Their crimes dwarf any that could possibly be attributed to Khatami.
The only possible answer is that “might makes right.” Yet, Bush, Cheney and Blair parade around draping themselves in moral justifications for their inhumane deeds and despicable acts.
The fact that Americans tolerate crimes against humanity by their own leaders is evidence that Americans are exceptional only in their hubris.’

‘The Bush administration has told a federal judge that terrorism suspects held in secret CIA prisons should not be allowed to reveal details of the "alternative interrogation methods" that their captors used to get them to talk.
The government says in new court filings that those interrogation methods are now among the nation's most sensitive national security secrets and that their release - even to the detainees' own attorneys - "could reasonably be expected to cause extremely grave damage." Terrorists could use the information to train in counter-interrogation techniques and foil government efforts to elicit information about their methods and plots, according to government documents submitted to US District Judge Reggie B. Walton on Oct. 26.’
