Hey, Washington Post!

Tell that to the Canadian we sent to Syria to be tortured. Or all those whom the CIA has been flying about in it's little black Lear jets from torture chamber to torture chamber.

Yeah

Meyer Arar would be suprised to hear this after we sent him to Syria for 10 months of torture.

Be fair, Solon

the WaPo said that THE UNITED STATES is unwilling to send these people to these places.

The United States, as an entity, with it's history of laws and human rights, would naturally be against this stuff.

The Bush administration, on the other hand, doesn't work under all those nasty restrictions.

and more...

A few other names for consideration: Khalid el-Masri, Ahmed Agiza, Muhammed al-Zery, Jamil Qasim Saeed Mohammed, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, Mohammad Al-Zery, Ahmed Agiza, Hassan Mustafa Osama Nasr, Binyam Mohammed, Saddiq Ahmad Turkistani, Laid Saidi, Talaat Fouad Qassem, and Shawki Salama Attiya. Black sites, enhanced interrogation techniques, ghost detainees, and erroneous rendition--you've got to give Bush and his cadre of criminals credit--they have expanded our possibilities as a culture. As for White's article--well--this level of idiocy speaks for itself.

Not agreeing but...

Couldn't this mean that WP is saying the US is unwilling to send detainees to such countries because this is the official line. Isn't extraordinary rendition about unofficial policy? As Guantanamo is so well known it can't be surprising that the official line is they won't send them back to dodgy countries (officially they are being returned to their own countries anyway which may have their own axe to grind and not be safe but that is another story).

Here's a little fact

Of all the people kept and released from Guantanamo, in the hundreds, only THREE have ever been held by their home governments after release. All others have been questioned and released immediately after returning home. Almost all have talked of being abused or tortured while in US custody.

The US is now a torture state. Just like Israel.
