When, exactly, did we "declare" that we're a "torture country"? Did I miss that particular news conference? Whow as it that stepped up to a microphone and said "We, the United States, torture people"?

When did that happen?

Figurative language that only an idiot would have taken literally means that the U.S. has an open policy regarding torture. The AG has also chimed in making it permissive.

The first idiotic assumption on your part was that these 39 people were even al'Quaida or even guilty of any crime whatsoever.

In a country of due process, we respect the law of the land. Unfortunately, you don't see it the same way. The second assumption was to assume a nation that tortures would publicly announce it, as though it is necessary for a leader to concede torture in order to place a torture policy label on said nation.
