I fear what I see as an inevitable showdown of the world against the US.

With the roasting that Blair os getting, you can be sure that future leaders of Great Britain keep the US at a safe distance.
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.
