56. In my brief section on torture in the OP, I give Obama credit for officially banning torture,

and then note that his executive order banning it pertained only to a fraction of the total torture that goes on under U.S. auspices, including torture by foreign sources under US patronage, which Obama could stop supporting if he chose. What part of what I say about torture do you claim is inaccurate?

You put a lot of emphasis on "no longer officially condoned". I already quoted those words in the preceding post, and then you put them in bold print, as if that makes your point. For the most part, "torture" wasn't even officially condoned under Bush.
