Honest, decency, morality, and god's chosen people. Yep. That's US. Therefore when we torture, it must be for the greater glory of god ... or maybe our leaders are corrupt?

All politicians are corrupt. In order to attain that level of power, one must be willing to give up one's soul. There's no hope for this system or any other system of government that takes the power out of the direct control of the people. And until people can regulate themselves without chaos, there's no hope for that either.
