John Kerry and the State Department issued a statement of human rights in the world stating that the "see little progress on global human rights". I find this interesting in light of the recent US government study making clear the US policy to use torture against suspected terror suspects. The report notes that no useful information ever came from torture that could not have been obtained by more humane means. The report notes the wrongs of the Bush I admin in the commission of these abuses and the Obama admin in doing about them when they took office. I wonder how much credibility the Kerry statement got in countries around the world. The Virginian Pilot on 4/20/13 had a short article on the Kerry statement.
