The records speak for themselves. When it comes to torture we yield to none. In the face of rising criticism here and abroad, the White House retreated on its position about torture of prisoners held as terrorists. Republican Senator John McCain took a leading role in making this happen. Let's hope that the retreat was not purely diplomatic and that the terms would be honored. Tom Toles, editorial cartoonist of the Washington Post, won the Pulitzer in 1990. His December 13th cartoon says it all. For full gallery of cartoons by Toles, go to the Post.
