Jewel -- The US has arrangements with a number of countries to send prisoners for interrogation. The reasons for this vary, but one of the issues is the circumvention of monitoring by the Red Cross. These are countries that are known to use torture. The use of torture by us, and now reportedly by Iraq, should leave any decent person outraged. But we are not seeing that.
