Editorials attack secret detentions

Boston Globe: “NEWS THAT the Central Intelligence Agency is running a system of secret prisons in far-off countries has shocked the nation. The clandestine jails are an affront to American values and an embarrassment in the world community. They are probably illegal, and ineffective as well.”

Cincinnati Post: “It is time we get back to who we are as a people and we are not a people who torture prisoners.”

I’m glad to see the growing recognition that human rights violations are anti-American. That’s the way out of this mess.
