What can the House do?

As new information comes to light about how the United States is treating detainees, a question looming large on my mind is what can our elected Representatives do in this arena? Do we want officials of our country stripping detainees, forcibly shaving them, threatening them with dogs, and physically intimidating them? One might suggest that this is okay, particularly since we are dealing with people who might be terrorists. Might be terrorists.

If we start here with this, where will it end up?

We must be strong on the security of our country, but strong on civil and human rights, also. There is no compromise.
