American Exceptionalism That Wasn't

The Washington Post demands the US should hold Iran accountable for torturing prisoners.
"The cases of torture and rape of prisoners courageously documented by opposition presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi should be as worthy of discussion as the non-nuclear subjects that Iran wants to bring up."
Thanks to "Torture Twins" George Bush and Dick Cheney, we have no leg to stand on. The days in which America could lecture any other country on torture of prisoners are over.

The American Exceptionalism touted by Republicans and Conservatives was a farce. Crudely patched together, full of double standards and inconsistencies, used to justify wars and foreign occupations.
