How about regretting the damage to the fabric or our damn rights as US citizens and the damage to human rights. This torturing coward does not determine what is Constitutionally right for our nation. I do NOT thank him for his service to our nation. He did no service. He did a disservice to all that is ethical and right for the nation and human rights! He can go back to the hell from which his wicked existence obviously came from.

This guy didn't settle anything for me, I still think it was wrong.
