I think America's goal is to beat information out of people using the best intentions and utmost respect. Well, till its your family you are trying to protect. Then it would be no issue at all to skin them alive.

Some people are just so bad, they need executed twice.

“The United States participated actively and effectively in the negotiation of [this] Convention. It marks a significant step in the development during this century of international measures against torture and other inhuman treatment or punishment. Ratification of the Convention by the United States will clearly express United States opposition to torture, an abhorrent practice unfortunately still prevalent in the world today.

The core provisions of the Convention establish a regime for international cooperation in the criminal prosecution of torturers relying on so-called ‘universal jurisdiction.’ Each State Party is required either to prosecute torturers who are found in its territory or to extradite them to other countries for prosecution,” - Ronald Reagan

Hopefully the Republicans will step up and force Obama to prosecute everyone involved in torture.
