Sen. John McCain has an op-ed in Wednesday’s Financial Times stressing the need for the United States to “strengthen our transatlantic alliance” with other democracies “to advance our values and defend our shared interests.” He says the United States must play an international leadership role and therefore must disavow torture, close the prison facilities at Guantanamo Bay, and find a solution to climate change.

Sixteen members of the congressional “Out of Iraq Caucus” expressed their support for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) in an open letter Tuesday. “As firm opponents of the Iraq war, we believe there is no higher priority for the next President of the United States than ending this war, and we believe there is no one better prepared and more committed to bringing this war to a responsible conclusion than Hillary Clinton,” the letter said.
