I just think it is laughable when someone comes up with this argument when there is no doubt about Americas role in the world. We give the IMF $100 billion yet we need to worry about what these countries think about torture? And the irony of the countries of their origin refusing to take these people back has to mean something doesnt it? Wonder why our brothers on the UN Security Council dont bring this issue up too often. Like I said before, what happens to these individuals should be carried out under whatever cloak of darkness the govt decides just like the other countries of the world.

Just so I understand...you are actually justifying your position on the way we deal with human rights by using Russia and China as examples?
