The United States does not Torture.
No sir.
Not us.
Who knows what can happen when Uncle Sam hands people over to authoritarian allies and, with a wink and a nod, says "We'd sure like to know what this guy knows about such and such." We can hardly be resposible if they beat the guy half to death and lock him in a tiny box for hours on end.
I guess, you know, stuff happens. Not our fault. Nope.
