This might be taking outsourcing too far Pt 2

US OUTSOURCING TORTURE??
And I thought the Headline of ‘US Outsourcing Torture’ meant the global TV syndication of shows like Seinfeld and Gerry Springer (I would have said Oprah too, but my wife reads this stuff)
However, this is one area of outsourcing that I have yet to hear any of the US Presidential candidates draw critical attention to in their steady effort to attract votes from the influential blue collar sector, or is this one area of outsourcing they actually approve of?
STRASBOURG, France– The head of a European investigation into alleged CIA secret prisons in Europe has stated that evidence pointed to the existence of a system of “outsourcing” of torture by the United States, and said it was highly likely that European governments knew of it.
However, Swiss senator Dick Marty said there was no formal evidence so far of the existence of clandestine detention centres in Romania or Poland as alleged by the New York-based Human Rights Watch.
“There is a great deal of coherent, convergent evidence pointing to the existence of a system of ‘relocation’ or ‘outsourcing’ of torture,” Marty said in a report presented to the Council of Europe, the human rights watchdog on whose behalf he is investigating.
“Acts of torture or severe violation of detainees’ dignity through the administration of inhuman or degrading treatment are carried outside national territory and beyond the authority of national intelligence services.”
