I'm sorry, Shel, but you are way off base with that. We like to claim ( falsely, it seems ) that we are a nation of laws not men. The presumption is "innocent until proven guilty" and when we hold someone in an offshore hell hole until they die it looks exactly like what it is: An end run around the constitution which fools no one except those are willfully deluding themselves and who still want to walk around singing about "the land of the free."

When Americans torture someone in Cuba it does not make it any more right than if it happened in Detroit.
