On a recent trip to Ukraine, Condoleezza Rice gave a literally unbelievable speech on behalf of the Executive Branch's continuing feeble attempt to deny the allegations that the United States has been torturing detainees.I don't often post about politics, but this is just too much to stay silent about. Humanity cannot afford to permit such barbaric immoral acts.
Let's take a close look at some quotes from Rice's speech:
I think that it does condone torture via Cheney's efforts to block anti-torture laws."First of all the United States does not condone torture..."
What about cars? Trucks? Trains? Ships? Or any other form of transportation whatsoever?"The United States does not use the airspace or the airports of any country for the purpose of transporting a detainee to a country where he or she will be tortured."
When is it NOT appropriate to have such assurances?"Where appropriate, the United States seeks assurances that transferred persons will not be tortured."
I truly believe this Administration misled us into war with Iraq. But even IF the war were justifiable AND justified, torture is NOT.

I think they actually do use other countries. Iceland is just investigating and communicating with the CIA and FBI, becasue prisoners have been landing on our airport without proper procedures. I don´t know what came out of it all.
On another note, something about Mrs. Rice that just make sme shiver.
