The label "blame America first" . . . implies that there is animus towards America, which is an easy label to utilize when the goal is to create a "us versus them" mentality.

However, instead of laying the "blame America first" label, consider the possibility that the position is more along the lines of "America is better than that" as the motivation for taking an anti-torture (or as the CIA calls it "particularly harsh interrogation technique") point of view.

In light of the number and nature of the countries that believe waterboarding or other forms of coercieve interrogation IS appropriate, put me on the side that believes that America is better than that.
