Despite accusing numerous countries of torturing detainees, the US will continue sending prisoners denied their rights to those countries for torture deemed illegal in the U.S. Such practices, in Syria's case, include:
Former prisoners, detainees, and reputable local human rights groups, reported that torture methods included electrical shocks; pulling out fingernails; burning genitalia; forcing objects into the rectum; beating, sometimes while the victim was suspended from the ceiling; alternately dousing victims with freezing water and beating them in extremely cold rooms; hyperextending the spine; bending the detainees into the frame of a wheel and whipping exposed body parts; and using a backward-bending chair to asphyxiate the victim or fracture the victim's spine. Torture was most likely to occur while detainees were held at one of the many detention centers operated by the various security services throughout the country, particularly while authorities attempted to extract a confession or information.Kafka could not have foreseen this. Worse, flogged to a standstill in Baghdad, the U.S. now accuses 'freely elected Iraqi politicians' and their police forces of allowing their country to slide into sectarian strife. Weirder and weirder...
