the fabric of america s stand for honor as it has stood since 1777 when george washington issued standing orders for the campaign in quebec that prisoners were to be treated with dignity. prisoners were to be used for intelligence collection purposes by bringing them to our side, showing our better angels. by not doing that. we would be actually violating the standing orders of george washington himself. so if we don t even believe in the values that this nation was built on, and we think that just destroying those values and dishonoring everyone who has ever worked in this community is satisfactory in order to get no intelligence then what we are just fundamentally doing is giving up on what america stands for. malcolm nance, appreciate you sharing both your experience and your ethical view there. thank you. it s my pleasure. we re going fit in a quick break and come right back with our politics panel. you re watching the last word
