With all due respect to Mrs. Gordon, for whatever beefs one might have with the president, it is NOT his job to control whatever crazy (BLEEP) candidates from the other side of the political spectrum have to say concerning foreign policy.
If Mrs. Gordon honestly believes that Cruz or Trump would not be saying these things if only Obama took somebody to the Hague or something, she is either misinformed or pulling our legs. If she thinks that any of the Congresses of the past 10 years would hop aboard the ICC, she is fooling herself.
If Obama had done what she had suggested, the whole discussion of what torture actually is would become even more polarized down party lines than it is now. Like it or not, we have two Americas with clashing and divergent worldviews, and that's not going to change anytime soon.
