Does the US torture, according to you? Does it treat its prisoners inhumanely? Does it arbitrarily arrest and detain without trial both its own citizens and foreign nationals?
If you answer no to any of these, how do you explain the concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay, which fulfils all these criteria and is long-standing policy.

I use the six sigma to signify that if you find a trace of something negative then the whole is corrupt. But we are not judging against a perfect God like powers but humans. As noted above Asylum and immigration has some interesting information to peruse. Also HRW has some interesting things to say about France also: Insufficient safeguards in national security removals.
And the British have some nasty immigration "centres". Hell they seem to be more like concentration camps... Rutherfordian ------------------------------ RDRutherford

PS: I don't define torture. The international treaties that forbid it do. If you have an alternate definition, then let's hear it. Friends come and go. Enemies accumulate.
