I can't speak for anyone else, but as a card-carrying BHL I can share my perspective, and it goes like this:
Trying, sentencing, torturing people without process is not the american way. It's something our founding fathers tried to move beyond. That our government thinks it's OK makes it hard for many of us to be "proud" at the moment.
We tortured the Japanese during WWII.
We tortured the Koreans during the Korean War.
We tortured during the "Vietnam Conflict".
It shames me that my country has done this.
