Investigation Concludes That The United States Outsourced Torture

@ 07:17 PM (46 months, 19 days ago)

The United States has outsourced torture.  That was the conclusion reached by Swiss Sen. Dick Marty, who led a European investigation into alledged CIA secret prisons throughout Europe.

Marty's investigation also concluded that it was highly likely that European governments knew of this outsourcing of torture.

In his report to the Council of Europe, Dick Marty wrote: "There is a great deal of coherent, convergent evidence pointing to the existence of a system of "relocation" or "outsourcing" of torture.  Acts of torture or severe violation of detainees' dignity through the administration of inhuman or degrading treatment are carried outside national territory and beyond the authority of national intelligence services."

He added that the entire continent of Europe is involved.

So to my dear neo-facist Republican friends, just remember: the next time you hear Idiot Son say "they hate us for our freedoms," you might want to tell him "No George, they hate us for our torture."

Investigator: EU governments likely knew of torture 'outsourcing'
