China Invokes US Torture

Without quotation marks. It was bound to happen at some point, when the frenemies or allies or rivals of the US note that the world’s superpower has grotesquely violated the Geneva Conventions and held no one accountable:

In its commentary, Xinhua embellished its call for a new reserve currency with a scathing indictment of the United States’ broader role in the world, saying that the Obama administration claimed “the moral high ground” while covertly “torturing prisoners of war, slaying civilians in drone attacks and spying on world leaders.”

I don’t want an authoritarian police state to be able to use that accusation against the US. But which part of that sentence is untrue?
