"The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example." http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/06/20030626-3.html
something happened very recently; that's why that utterly pathetic apologist statement has been issued. lawyers have discovered the US has 1000's of terror suspects gone mental beyond recovery due to "psychological" torture.
Well of course. By killing or incapacitating anyone who they feel deserves it, they no longer need to torture. Thereby, eliminating torture. Leading the world, in exterminating , and wiping off the planet, extremism!!!
