It will be fine again in spite of you as long as I live. And there are a lot like me" Sorry QE, but it will take longer than your lifetime to get back to where you were a decade ago. Think of war and Germany and Hitler immediately pops to the front of your mind. Of course most of the German people weren't even born then, but their country (and therefore their culture) carries that stigma over 60 years later. Your last hope is with Obama - otherwise, prepare yourself to be the new world pariahs. Good luck, Snowshow questioneverything says:

First question would be what was done to those who imposed the torture. If it was nothing to a slap on the wrist, then we have a winner. If the answer is that the death occuring after being hit in the head with a stove was a co-incidence, a statistical fluke (after all, everyone is going to die some day), we have a winner.

Now can we say that the US condones torture? I guess that these deaths could count as torture according to the bush doctrine that torture must lead to death, not just pain.

They have no shame, so hit them hard where their hearts are - their wallets. And then put them in jail and throw away the key. No pardons. It is important to the nation that the Democrats go through with an exhaustive investigation of all the crimes of this administration. Otherwise we can draw the conclusion that American democracy is dead, and start looking at the historical data as to when this happened and why.

That sounds like the logical first step, since many of the culprits would be looking to make deals, and reveal evidence to prospective prosecuters.
