Torture erodes the character and testimony of a nation (Deut.
4:6-8 versus Lam 4:3; Ezek. 34:4). God wanted the Gentiles to
be jealous of the liberties that His law brought to Israel (Deut.
4:6-8), and declared his laws to be the “perfect law of liberty”
(James 1:25; 2:12). However, through cruelty, Israel’s
reputation was destroyed (Lam. 4:3; Ezek. 34:4). In a similar
way, torture has ruined America’s grand testimony.
