The best thing we have going for us is our American belief that no one is above the law. That’s why this report by Human Rights First, covered by Reuters, is so disturbing. It reads like a script for a particularly grim episode of The Sopranos.

Deaths of prisoners in our care are troubling, even if inevitable. A failure to take responsibility is a worse betrayal of what we say we stand for.

Every time we act like we’re above the law and above common decency, we make our country less safe. [Tags: iraq terrorism]
