re: There are just some things you do, being scrupulous about the Conventions, and things you don't do, torture. That is how civilized countries behave. The ones that don't get lumped in with the Nazis. Even at our worst point in Vietnam, we weren't put in that category except by pretty extreme leftists. But with the growing body of evidence about the use of more or less gratuitous torture, it is going to be only the most rabidly pro-American ones that don't. And we will deserve it. We haven't even talked about "extraordinary rendition". Uzbekistan, where we have US bases, one of the nastiest torture countries in the world. Maybe there isn't a solution. I often think, hell, just give it up. Forget about it and just go along. John
