“To date, we've arrested or otherwise dealt with many key commanders of al Qaeda... All told, more than 3,000 suspected terrorists have been arrested in many countries.

“Once you take yourself off the pedestal, saying, "It's bad for you to torture, but for us, this is our national security, so we're gonna do it". You can't live that way and the United States doesn't need to do it, it shouldn't do it, and I think a Democratic administration, whoever the democratic president is, will repudiate that kind of conduct. I think it was an overreaction caused by a lot of different strains of thought in the administration. I think it was clearly wrong and I think that repudiation, which will come from the United States, will be a key in restoring America's legitimacy.” ThinkingWayNeedsKindDifferentStatesAmericaPresidentUnitedUnited StatesSecurityKeysDemocraticAdministrationTortureNational SecurityStrainPedestalLegitimacyRestoringOverreaction Author:Wesley Clark
