chelidonReport: U.S. was 'outsourcing' torture
It is looking increasingly likely that we (that's us, the "good guys") are running and supporting a network of secret torture centers around the world. If the U.S. government, or somebody in it, decides it doesn't like you, you disappear, secretly taken to some anonymous foreign location where you are tortured without appeal, oversight, or hope of escape. One can only imagine the inhuman horrors that would go on in such a place, where nobody has to worry about anyone ever finding out what happens inside. Then, at some point, presumably you are tortured to death, or otherwise disposed of in some anonymous fashion, since nobody has heard of anyone ever leaving one of these torture centers to tell the tale.
This differs from pure evil, how? Oh, right. Because we're the "good guys."
