A country which thinks it can stuff people (irrespective who they are!) into some backwater with the object of enabling torture - namely watching others do the actual "torture by proxy" - are little better than the torturers.
This is not a new ploy by the US, - the same thing happened in Latin America, Kosovo blah.
The US remains the only western country unable to comply with Human Rights Treaties - even for it's own citizens.
Other nations are well-aware of the US double standards on many things - it's not too palatable.
There is a serious problem someplace, - even forgetting the ramblings of a perverse old ass in the Pentgon.
