No Fair, Now Even Our Good Torture Jobs Are Going Overseas!

Well this is the last straw. Textile jobs fleeing overseas. Computer jobs fleeing overseas. Automotive jobs fleeing overseas. But now those darned foreigners are stealing our torturing jobs! Is nothing sacred?

According to the Washington Post, "evidence pointed to the existence of a system of 'outsourcing' of torture by the United States, and that it was highly likely European governments were aware of it. . . . There is a great deal of coherent, convergent evidence pointing to the existence of a system of 'relocation' or 'outsourcing' of torture," [Swiss Sen. Dick] Marty said in the report 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," Marty said. He added that more than 100 suspects may have been transferred to countries where they faced torture or ill treatment in recent years. "The entire continent is involved," Marty told the Council of Europe's parliamentary assembly, a body comprising several hundred national lawmakers. "It is highly unlikely that European governments, or at least their intelligence services, were unaware."

Oh great, THIS is where the nations of Europe want to help us out. Good grief!
