"US jet registered to a ghost company whisks terror suspects to countries that use torture, The Washington Post reported, based on its own investigation.
The Gulfstream V turbojet has been seen at US military bases around the world, often loading up hooded and shackled suspects and delivering them to countries known to use torture, a process the CIA calls "rendition," the Washington daily said.
...The 'rendering' of suspects to countries that employ interrogation techniques banned in the United States is worrisome and could violate the UN Convention on Torture, World Organization for Human Rights USA executive director Morton Sklar told the daily."
Isn't it funny that they want us to believe that things like Abu Ghraib are isolated incidents when the CIA is purposely taking suspects to countries where they can use torture tactics (on the flip side of that, it's pretty easy to understand how Abu Ghraib can happen when we have a culture in our government that has no problem with this)? Now people may not feel sorry for terror suspects (provided these guys actually are terrorists unlike many sitting in Guantanamo right now), but that doesn't make it any less hypocritical. And it doesn't make it any less wrong.
