Because they knew it was why we started the war in Iraq!

"American officials had not previously acknowledged either that Mr. Libi made the false statements in foreign custody or that Mr. Libi contended that his statements had been coerced."

This also explains the awkward tiptoeing around the case of the Candadian who was rendited (rendered?) to Egypt around the same time.

I'm rather amazed there hasn't been more of an uproar on this, I supose it will take some time.

Thank goodness for H. Pinter's deathbed lambast as well.
