The Questions Condoleezza Must Answer

Common dreams gives us a set of questions to which you can be sure Miss Rice will not give satisfactory answers.

The real problem is that ordinary people just do not care.

The Questions Condoleezza Must Answer: "Could you explain why you believe these renditions are 'permissible under international law'?

Amnesty International's senior director of regional programmes, Claudio Cordone, said: 'Flying detainees to countries where they may face torture or other ill-treatment is a direct and outright breach of international law with or without so called 'diplomatic assurances'. These assurances are meaningless. Countries known for systematic torture regularly deny the existence of such practices.'"
