| Quote | "But if the rules are changed and the law allows detainees to be degraded and humiliated, the U.S. government no longer would have any moral basis for insisting that Americans taken prisoners abroad be treated with respect and dignity. If the United States is to have any positive influence in the world, it must lead by example, otherwise it’s going to be difficult to distinguish us from the terrorists."
