He ain't a god. He's just a man, with good points and bad points and biases like anyone else.

Making the world a better place? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. After 9/11, he freaked out and was one of the first to advocate Americans' use of torture (although, admittedly, he said it be used in "limited" cases such as in the "ticking-bomb" scenario).

It's a slippery slope from there. I'm sure he had Middle Easterners/Arabs/Muslims in mind with regard to torture in the wake of 9/11. He'd probably think differently if it were an Israeli agent who had the goods while the bomb was ticking. Funny that.
