Just as long as another country does it, and they PROMISE to not do it.

Of course anyone with the intellectual capacity of a tree squirrel knows the only reason to take these prisoners to a third country is to torture them off US soil.


The officials were describing recommendations from a task force that examined both interrogations and transfers of terror suspects to other countries for questioning; they said that President Obama had accepted all the proposals.

Details on the new unit were emerging on Monday as the Justice Department prepared to release details on prisoner abuse that were gathered in 2004 by the C.I.A.’s inspector general but have never been released.

Extraordinary Renditions have been occuring since the dawn of time. So NOW you're going to complain?

This administration is getting US out of the torture business. Something the previous administration refused to do it seems.

Yeah, business as usual...

You have reached a conclusion not supported by the article itself.


Quote from the article:

“The U.S. government should not and will not transfer any individual where there is a likelihood they will be tortured,” one official said.

Well, I get the complaint though... We send suspects off to other countries with the "assurance" that they won't be tortured, but know that the laws of those lands don't necessarily outlaw it... So what do we think is going to happen to them, right?

I don't know where I fall on this one really. I think I take SOME comfort in the fact that we aren't the ones doing it, but yeah, there's some moral responsibility still....
