NYT Editorial

Since the creation of laws, people with a higher power seem to get special treatment when it comes to following the law. Most get to alter the true meaning of what it says and depending how high on the list you are for having the most power means that you get more lenience on disobeying them or how far you can really mess up the law to cover up one's actions. Torture sessions are not really the big issue here it's how the people that we are supposed to trust in making the right decisions for the people it leads. And the government and the president seem to approve and support of this issue. I'm sure that torture happens in many countries of the world this doesn't make it right, but there's not much that we as citizens have much say in it...all that we can do is riot and say our own personal opinions but these so called leaders of us are really the ones that can make the decision to stop torture here and find some other means of punishing those who have done wrong. There are just way too many double standards in this world today and there needs not to be.
