The value systems of the people running this must be severely distorted. Can't torture at home so let's fly people to some dictatorship to get it done there. I guess it's the same mindset that caused a democratically elected president in Iran to be overthrown and replaced by a dictator in order to save freedom and democracy.
It is the same value system that created Guantanamo Bay Prison.
This of course will get little traction on a site where all of the 'thought leaders' are employed or bribed by the same intelligence agencies these people have a problem with. #edit flag away you echo-chamber loving fools of anti-intellectualism. I bet more people register to view my flagged comment than do to engage in the farce of a comment board you Marxist fools run.

[Checks leaderboard; I'm still there at #27] Clearly, there has been an oversight. The intelligence officials responsible for employment and bribes should contact me at their earliest convenience to correct this.

This is how I feel about being Jewish. I’m still waiting for the International Zionist Elders or Cabal or something to give me a shout. But no, nothing after all these years :(
Which is worse: torture or killing? It seems that with all the attention that torture got, the Obama administration basically stopped trying to capture people alive to interrogate them and instead just sent drone based missiles to just kill anyone suspected of terrorism.

Torture exposes the blackest parts of our humanity in a way that droning someone never could.
That's real optimistic of the Guardian but somehow I doubt there's all that much grass roots support against rendition flights. We live in an age where "Muslim ban" sounds like appropriate policy to about half the population. In Democracy the people get the government they deserve. Guess we really don't deserve human rights and habeus corpus.
So speak up. Educate your fellow citizens as to why these issues are important. Break through their media bubble/snowglobe and have multiple meaningful conversations that go deeper than the talking points spewed out by media personalities. Much of the country is purple not red and blue - if you can have a respectful conversation with someone you can find common ground on these issues.
And show up on election day.
The First Amendment exists for a reason - "we get the government we deserve" applies to those of us who chose to stay informed as well if we don't respond to the challenges of the day.

Have you ever actually gotten that to work? Have you personally ever changed a single persons mind? Not trying to be facetious, but I'm incredulous.
