The diminution of American moral authority
How hollow does this sound now?
This is what we've become. In the face of state sanctioned torture, civilized nations will begin to write this about us.
The United States refused to send Posada, a radical opponent of Cuban leader Fidel Castro and a former CIA agent, to Cuba or Venezuela citing US fears that he would be tortured.

Does Venezuela practice torture? I think this is an attempt to demonize Chavez following his speech at the UN.

Well, this case has been ongoing awhile, and that claim of fear of torture has always been in the case, so I would guess not. The argument used is against Chavez, but I don't think it's specific to that speech.
