bans torture, specifically.
wow! really. That is great.

"If the US does torture, the victims have no right to take that up in court."
Brilliant, simply brilliant!
The US says it will not torture; however, neither the US government nor any of its personnel who do so, can be challenged in court. And this is not from the President, but the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Brilliant, simply brilliant!
This is what the US is all about.
