Are you saying the U.S. has tortured 27 people to death? Proof?
Based on what you call "rendition," you are comparing the U.S. to terrorists? That's wild Decker. Let me make sure I understand what you're saying. Are you talking about people being deported back to their own countries?
Sorry, it was 29 deaths and not 27.
http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/68561.htm"The vast majority of the deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq were caused by factors such as natural causes, injuries sustained on the battlefield, or detainee-on-detainee violence. In only 29 cases was abuse or other violations of law or policy suspected. In these cases, these alleged violations were properly investigated, and appropriate action was taken..."
As for rendition, Dana Priest received the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for breaking the story of the US's use of rendition.
http://www.danapriestfansite.com/priest07.html"To comply with anti-torture laws that bar sending people to countries where they are likely to be tortured, the CIA's office of general counsel requires a verbal assurance from each nation that detainees will be treated humanely, according to several recently retired CIA officials familiar with such transfers, known as renditions."
See? We get the torturing country's assurance that it won't torture the people we send them.
I feel better now.
Except for this:
Another U.S. government official who visited several foreign prisons where suspects were rendered by the CIA after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, said: "It's beyond that. It's widely understood that interrogation practices that would be illegal in the U.S. are being used."
