Have you guys seen the recent articles in Time and the New Yorker Magazine about the CIA outsourcing it's interrogations to other countries. Pretty scary stuff, and sad that the government thinks they have any right to do that to people, American citizens least of all. sad.gif

It's not even just the possibility of torturing the wrong people. You can't take a terrorist who has been tortured to trial. It's a violation of their civil liberties and the US is "against" torture. Their are currently several terrorists in Germany who can't get convicted because the US won't let Germany have witnesses currently held in Guantanamo. Germany, and most of the world, believe it is because the US tortured these individuals, or, of course, sent them to Egypt or another country to be tortured.
Since nobody had apparently thought about the fact that you can't convict or release someone who has been tortured, the US doesn't know what to do with them. This is why so few people are being released from Guantanamo.
