General Discussion

I understand what you both wrote, and I did acknowledge my position was not unassailable.

I restate torture is totally wrong, inefficient, ineffective.

While rendition seems to me to have some redeeming qualities, even if I do agree the rendition could be at the condition the prisoner isn't tortured.

But my problem is that a foreign bad guy in US hands not rendered stays to live on a life of relative comfort. When merrily writes "Besides, the US found ways not to give alleged terrorists the benefit of US law.", it seems to me it comes down to saying if a foreign fanatic is captured by US soldiers rather than non-western allied troops, the foreign fanatic has won the lottery: he will be treated far better than if he had been captured by the non-western allied troops.
