Condi Clears up “Kidnapping” nonsense

It is more than a little ironical that liberals, who are supposed to care so much about language and reading and what not, are getting their panties all up in a bunch about the "kidnapping" of terrorists. Left-Wing Conspiracy nuts like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have argued that the United States has kidnapped suspected terrorists, and rendered them to countries where they can be tortured. But if these people took 5 minutes to apply their critical thinking and Jewish post-modern theory to the New York Times they're already reading, they'd realize that The United States is not, by any stretch of the imagination, "kidnapping" anyone. Just listen to Condoleeza Rice, who you all should love since she fulfills 2 quotas, (maybe 3, but the jury's still out on that on.)

Rice admitted that the United States had moved terrorist suspects to third countries to be "questioned, held or brought to justice." There's a big difference between that and being kidnapped.

And, as Condoleeza points out, "The US Government does not authorize or condone torture of detainees." nu-duh!


In fact, Condoleeza Rice could not be more passionate in her rejection of torture: '"Where appropriate, the United States seeks assurances that transferred persons will not be tortured." Condoleeza's disgust is visceral.

Why, you may ask, is it necessary to take prisoners from one country to another, if it's not to torture them? Why were suspects moved from countries like Sweden, Germany, and Italy to be "questioned, held or brought to justice" in countries like Egypt, Syria and Afghanistan? It's simple. Rice explains: '"We must track down terrorists who seek refuge in areas where governments cannot take effective action, including where the terrorists cannot in practice be reached by the ordinary processes of law." Anyone who has ever traveled to Sweden, Germany and Italy knows these countries cannot be reached by the ordinary processes of law. Have you ever tried to question, hold or bring someone to justice in Europe. It's a total nightmare? Countries like Afghanistan, Syria, and Egypt are famous for their ordinary processes of law.
