Torture Fatigue

Jimmy Carter has it right:

Bush defended the techniques used, saying, "This government does not torture people."
Carter replied, "That's not an accurate statement if you use the international norms of torture as has always been honored -- certainly in the last 60 years since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was promulgated. But you can make your own definition of human rights and say we don't violate them, and you can make your own definition of torture and say we don't violate them."
