But Americans Are Different….

When Americans do it:

“a form of simulated drowning that U.S. officials had previously deemed a crime” or “harsh interrogation tactics” or an “interrogation tactic” or “harsh interrogation practices” or “a practice that years later would be condemned as torture by Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill.”

When foreigners do it (in this case the Khmer Rouge):

“torture..”

This is how the Washington Post sees the world. I think it is also how many Americans see the world.
