Outsourcing Torture

In the past year, I have been particlarly appalled at our government's refusal to stop the practice of transferring prisoners to countries with histories of torture. When there was abuse in Iraq, the military disciplined those involved; however, there has been no change of course on our policy of "extraordinary renditions" and I have heard no other feasible explanation for the practice than this: other countries will do things to prisoners that we wouldn't do on our own soil.

So I would encourage you to read Amnesty's information on Air Torture, and if you find it persuasive (as I have) use their site to email our President and your representatives in Congress asking them to end this practice.
