This video reminded me of how I felt in 2004 when the news of the torture in Iraq broke. It wasn't so much the brutality of the torture in Abu Ghraib, though that was horrifying and reprehensible, but the possibility that it was sanctioned by the US government that shocked me. I believed then and I believe now that we have a duty as a global leader to uphold standards of human decency, and a wartime mentality does not supersede that obligation.
