none of the above. Torture is very carefully specified by the articles of the Geneva Convention and other international agreeements. It's the policy of the United States not to use such methods.
We do not have public executions, like they do in Iran, China and the Arab Countries.... a limited number of witnesses from the press and representatitives of the public are present to insure that executions are not secret, but it ain't the Kentucky Derby or a Rock Concert.
Exporting a product used in a illegal activity is not the same as condoning or doing the activity. Would you outlaw the export of screwdrivers, piano wire and plastic baggies?

They don't know what they're talking about. Of course we promote torture. This society is like a torture. We're led to believe we're free, but we have to work or go to jail, We're told that we have equal rights, but the rich and wealthy can basically do whatever they want and not get arrested. We're led to believ we have all these rights, but whenever people try to exercise their rights they get thrown in jail. We're led to believe that America is so tolerant and accepting, but we seem to have a big problem with smokers and the overweight. I think everyday having to put up with all the lies, the judgement, the hate, and the greed is torture enough. We've found the perfect way to make tons of money from the suffering of others. Finally the most popular horror films are torture films, like Saw and Hostel. Nuf said!
I choose A&B

It's leaders are responsible for the torture performed by their intelligence services and military.

The US doesn't manufacture much of anything itself anymore, and public executions have been verboten for a long time. The answer is C.
