"It makes me deeply ashamed as an American in the tradition of Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, and King, that in their private communications our international allies openly admit that the United States of America routinely disregards international law.

We have an administration that views the Geneva Conventions as 'quaint.' The US has vigorously opposed the International Criminal Court."
