re: #473 Walter L. Newton

You have any problem with a rendition program that forgoes torture?

I just don’t see the point? What is the advantage to turning our detained prisoners over to a foreign intelligence service, when we are not authorizing them to interrogate them in any ways that differ from our techniques? The entire purpose of the Bush rendition program was to allow treatment of prisoners that was illegal under U.S. law. If we are promising the 3rd parties will follow U.S. law, why are we handing them over in the first place?
