We could send a friendly letter to turkey to tell them to stop jailing publishers all the time and they would probably listen. However, we won't even do that.

Why do you believe Turkey would listen? I don't know for sure, but this seems pretty ridiculous.

Because the US gives them so much military aid that they would have to listen. The US gave them aid throughout the nineties when they were killing off thousands of kurds.
Of course it's possible that Turkey wouldn't change much. However, the fact that the US doesn't oppose, and in fact supports, the terrible policies of the Turkish government tells you almost everything you need to know about the USA's attitude on spreading "democracy"
