In the Register's Sept. 28 editorial, "Torturing American Values," you allude to the belief that our principles of justice set us apart from others who do not take our principles seriously.
Any competent student of history can point to numerous instances when we didn't take these principles very seriously either.
Our numerous broken treaties with the many and various Native American peoples can attest to this fact. We also had to fight the Civil War in order to free the slaves, long after most other advanced countries of the world outlawed the practice.
