			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Democracies have no business running secret prisons. That&#8217;s what our enemies do. If we <i>are</i> in a battle for the hearts and minds of people around the world, as the administration says we are, I won&#8217;t feel very secure if the people around the world believe we are no different than our enemies. [&#8230;] As Americans, we do believe our system offers a better way. But the only way to convince others of that is if we live by our values. Real security begins with remembering who we are. We gain nothing by adopting the methods of our enemies.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To conceive that compulsion and punishment are the proper means of reformation, is the sentiment of a barbarian; civilisation and science are calculated to explode so ferocious an idea. It was once universally admitted and approved; it is now necessarily upon the decline. Punishment must either ultimately succeed in imposing the sentiments it is employed to inculcate, upon the mind of the sufferer, or it must forcibly alienate him against them. The last of these can never be the intention of its employer, or have a tendency to justify its application. [&#8230;] Yet to alienate the mind of the sufferer, from the individual that punishes, and from the sentiments he entertains, is perhaps the most common effect of punishment.</p>
