A UN investigator says that thugs in Sri Lanka routinely torture suspects to make them confess. Especially those suspected of terrorism.

This means many of the confessions are false.

Sri Lanka has also kept some suspects in prison for many years without trial.

In this area, the US sets a bad example, from Guantanamo to Chicago.

Americans, if you love your country, strive to make it deserve the world's admiration instead of the world's fear.
