Stephen Rohde, Truthout: 'In a new comprehensive 107-page report entitled 'Getting Away with Torture: The Bush Administration and Mistreatment of Detainees,' Human Rights Watch (HRW) concludes that 'there is sufficient basis for the U.S. government to order a broad criminal investigation into alleged crimes committed in connection with the torture and ill-treatment of detainees, the CIA secret detention program, and the rendition of detainees to torture' focusing on alleged criminal conduct by 'former President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and CIA Director George Tenet.'

Allegations FBI and British Intelligence Tortured Kenyan Rendition Victim

Jeffrey Kaye, Truthout: 'According to an August 17 article in The Guardian UK, lawyers representing Omar Awadh Omar, a Kenyan used car salesman who was kidnapped off the streets of Nairobi last September and rendered to Uganda, have accused the FBI and British intelligence agency MI5 and Ugandan agents of 'cruel and unlawful treatment' in custody. A claim in Awadh s behalf has been filed in a British court. Despite the claims of FBI abuse, the case has not been covered in the United States.'
