Report: It is "indisputable" that USA tortures
Naga ("Game of Thrones")
(BBC) An independent examination of the US rendition program after 9/11 has concluded that it is "indisputable" that America tortured prisoners and that the country's highest officials were responsible.
 
A 580-page report published on Tuesday [April 16, 2013] by the Constitution Project, a non-partisan Washington-based thinktank, concludes that the program was unjustified and counterproductive, damaging to the country's reputation.
 
What's for dinner? 14 y.o. brain!
And [it] has placed US military personnel at risk of mistreatment if they are themselves taken prisoner.
