That isn't the case, and you should know it by now. Do a search on
"extraordinary renditions", and then tell me these people were being
repatriated.

What is your definition of touture? Does raising your voice at someone
constitute torture?

Do they give lessons in denial when one becomes a Republican? I think
most Americans have a general concept of what constitutes torture.
Perhaps, you don't have a problem with it being done in your name, but it
shames me. Oh, and if you had read the following link, you would know
what this administration considered torture.

I did. I found many articles. I looked at several. All the ones I read referred to the same
individual, Maher Arar, who says he was tortured in Syria.

Are there other cases which ring with some truth, or are there just umpteen stories about this one
guy?
