Do you really believe that's going to be a central issue of the next president's presidency? I don't.

I see the next president extricating us from Iraq and getting out of the nation building business.

I know this was directed toward Mike but I'm throwing more pennies in nonetheless.

I do NOT want another president who looks the other way, or even expresses a willingness to look the other way, while agents of the U.S. government commit acts of neglect, abuse, and torture. We have GOT to restore our image worldwide, and a Bush Lite (in this respect) is not the way to do it.

I think McCain would be a really good choice in this regard, since he's been on the receiving end of such treatment and would likely reverse policy immediately.
