Caroline Kennedy was on 'The Daily Show' to discuss the winners of this year's 'Profiles In Courage' award.

Two winners this year were John Murtha, for speaking out against the war in Iraq, and a lawyer in the Navy who came out against the torture of detainees. To the latter, Jon Stewart responds, "Hey, we found a guy in the government that was against torture! We have a trophy for that?"
