Since 9/11, the United States has frequently outsourced torture to countries such as Egypt, Jordan and Syria, that are known to use brutal methods.
This procedure is called "extraordinary rendition." It is expressly forbidden by the U.N. Convention against Torture (Part I, A. 3.1), which the U.S. has signed and ratified. It also violates section 2242 of the 1998 Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act.
If I hire someone to murder another person, I am guilty of murder. George Bush is guilty of torture.

Hell yes we do. Congress just gave the chief torturer himself, George Bush free reign to torture whomever he pleases, and this includes American citizens if he chooses.. This is a dark moment in the history of this country. When you lower yourself to the level of your enemy, your taking giants leaps backwards. It's really quite sad. Violence begets violence.

There is little question that we torture, and it has been going on since shortly after 9/11. The recent scramble to pass legislation is to help cover those responsible from prosecution.

GW is guilty of violation of the Geneva convention, and should be tried as a war criminal
And as far as outsourcing- I think someone else already covered that!

The new anti terror (ironic) bill signed last week makes torture an official US policy.

If what you said is true then our government is guilty of torture, and we are all guilty unless we elect a new government.

I am sick and tired of America out sourcing jobs that good, hard working Americans should be doing themselves. These are American jobs down the drain.
