Quote:...CIA in its policy of secret detention, rendition and torture".Hardly no longer policy or 'normal' operating procedure.....it goes on every day, all day, all over the world and seems to be increasing under Obama, if less publicized, as under Bush. Under Obama, one can also add summary execution by drone - although summary execution without any legal process has always been in the intelligence operative's bag 'o tricks. Its certainly has an 'all American' aura about it....
. Is saddens and sickens me no end, what my country has become - and what it has not become.....certainly, other nations also participate or turn a blind eye. Certainly a few other nations do the same thing, if on a smaller scale; but, hey! America is #1 when it comes to these horrors outlawed in the Geneva Conventions [and other International Law], the Nuremberg Principals and other such. They don't hate us for our freedoms, they just hate us with good reason. Many inside the Empire also hate what is being done, if not the Country and People, per se.
