"CIA 'torture trips' using city airport GARETH EDWARDS Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 THE CIA is using Edinburgh Airport as a refuelling stop for "torture" flights carrying terror suspects. The secret flights are suspected of carrying Islamic militants from the US to Eastern European countries where torture can be used legally. Police have now been urged to investigate whether any crimes have been committed in Edinburgh after it emerged 14 of the "rendition" flights stopped in the Capital over the last four years. Lothians Green MSP Mark Ballard said today: "I am sure that many people in Edinburgh will be revolted that such abuses of human rights could be taking place right in their own backyard." It had long been known that both Prestwick and Glasgow had been used as a pit-stop for the flights, but now Edinburgh, as well as RAF Leuchars, Inverness and Wick have been linked to the scandal. Mr Ballard has written to Lothian and Borders Police outlining his concerns that crimes may have been committed in Scottish airspace or on the ground in Edinburgh, and asking the Chief Constable to investigate. Under UN conventions and the European Convention on Human Rights, torture, including acts which aid or abet torture, is illegal. Holyrood was told yesterday that the American government did not deny flying prisoners to Eastern Europe where they could employ what were described as aggressive interrogation techniques which are not allowed in the US."

See. The Bush Adminstration wasn't lying. Even though we do torture people, we do it in foreign countries where torture is supposedly "legal." So, when we torture people in these foreign countries, it's not technically "torture." The torture is just an "enhanced interrogation technique."

"John McCain: U.S. Still Torturing Detainees Newsmax | December 9 2005 Sen. John McCain claimed Wednesday that the U.S. is still torturing terrorist detainees, even as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice visits with European leaders to assure them that the practice is banned under U.S. law. "We've got to stop this torture," McCain told radio host Don Imus. "If you torture somebody, they're going to tell you what they think you want to know in order to make the pain stop," he complained. The Republican maverick said the U.S. can't win the propaganda war "if people believe throughout the world that you are practicing cruel, inhuman, degrading mistreatment or torture on the people that you capture." "Right now," McCain complained, "we have prisons, apparently, set up in different places in the world where we're keeping people for years." His comments come as Dr. Rice meets with European leaders to assure them that claims about ongoing torture are baseless."

Yeah, until you become one of the suspects. Considering the direction this country is going in, it won't be long before the government starts imprisoning it's own citizens for speak out against the agenda.
