So the US will get rid of GITMO and not engage in torture but they will allow RENDITION. What this means is that we can send suspected terrorists to countries that do believe in torture. So how is this different from the US just doing it? Got me.
Ask yourself a question.
If your child was being held by terrorists, and they knew where they were, wouldn't you do anything to get back your child? This includes torture to extract the information on the whereabouts of your child? (maybe you would just talk to the terrorist or wait for the Judicial system to do their job -- I'm sorry but your child would be dead in the six months it takes to go to trial.
This scenario is no different than the "child" being the US and its citizens.
Let the pro's do their job.
