No, he did not say that, here is the link to the original.

He clearly says that as long as americans are not in danger, dying or being  
injured he is not against a presence like the one we have in S Korea, Japan 
and  Germany. 



Physicians for Human Rights is not a media outlet, they are a  Nobel  
Peace Prize-winning organization dedicated to human rights.  They  
published this piece based on interviews and physical  examination of  
11 people tortured at Gitmo, who were released after  years of being  
tortured without ever being charged.

Here is  the direct link again.

I included the WaPo piece because it was easier  reading,  
but if you prefer to read it directly, it is the link at  the top of  
the page.

The United States of America is  torturing people, and everyday we let  
it happen we become more and  more depraved as a civilization.  If  
that's the result of  lockstepping, I'll keep being the odd man out,   
thanks.
I was referring to the media outlets use of the false mccain quote on the  
100 years of war,
not torture.
