Well, he does have a point.
Americans have certainly tortured prisoners in the recent past. |

Is there even a question? When the Bush administration lists all the tortures that they've classified as not officially torture, that's pretty much an admission of guilt.

Look, if the price of freedom is secret imprisonment and torture we should all be willing...

Carter is: a) a modern-day Democrat, with all that implies, and b) the guy whose Administration couldn't win at the Iranian hostage rescue.
I didn't vote for him either, but -- full disclosure -- mostly out of apathy. Enthusiasm for politics didn't develop until later.

But of course we could talk about the treatment of the Irish by the British if you want to look at a country in the western world who set the standards in modern times for the treatment and torture of prisoners.
