We've only hampered our efforts if the rest of the world thought we were previously willing to torture people but are now unwilling. The outrage about the former suggests the first part is wrong, and what we all know about the Bush administration suggests that the second part is wrong too. Which is just confirmation that the WSJ is primarily interested in beating people over the head with the idea that they're soft on terrorists, even as they're completely uninterested in brutal, ideological incompetence with which the Bush administration is prosecuting this war.
