Agreed that the use of torture is a stain.

The existence of Guantanamo is also a stain.

But the difficult truth to absorb is that it's more than a stain, it's a reflection.

The US has the power to do as it wishes. That's sorta why its character has become corrupted.

BREAKING NEWS

Members of a U.S. military jury who sentenced a terrorist last week at Guantánamo Bay wrote a letter condemning his torture and urging clemency.
Sunday, October 31, 2021 4:51 PM EST

The seven senior U.S. military officers had sentenced Majid Khan, who pleaded guilty in February 2012 to terrorism crimes, to 26 years in prison after hearing graphic descriptions of his torture by the C.I.A.

In the letter, they called Mr. Khan’s treatment “a stain on the moral fiber of America.”
