NY Times editorial - Torture

America needs a way to get information from those captured enemy combatants. However, in doing such it should not be violating national and international laws. America desperately needs to amend destroyed and damaged relations with countries the world over and violating the Geneva convention is not going to repair any relations.
The fact that these torture techniques were approved of, and in fact constructed by those higher-ups in the white house should be disturbing to all Americans. Civil liberties are being walked all over and no one in America seems to care. How far does it have to go before Americans unite to begin repairing the damage we’ve done?
