    The legislative body for the European Union's 27 countries said many member states have been "turning a blind eye" to the CIA-operated flights carrying prisoners who were subjected to "incommunicado detention and torture" during interrogations, violating EU human rights standards.

    President Bush acknowledged in September that the CIA used secret prisons to interrogate some terrorism suspects overseas. He did not say where the prisons were located.

    What are your views on these practices that seem to be widespread and ongoing?

    They are terrorists...as long as interrogation is not torture, I'm cool with it...get them before they get us.

    Agree as these 'sub-contract type' tactics actually work because if the suspects are being interrogated by the 'sub-contractors' if they do not 'sing' and confess all the information ...........then for sure torture will be applied

    These tactics are the norm and of course getting information is the name of the game

    So what other way is there, because if they are interrogated in many western countries there are many legal opt-out methods that will enable the suspects to circumvent the system and get released when in many instances they will have been terrrorists but have beaten the system to be set free (without any charges) and then start the terrorism again

    Any process that prevents that happening is in my book 'fair enough'

    This stuff has been going on for years. We can't just ask them nicely to tell us what we need to know. There is a basic American proverb (That no one knows) "Never Ask What's In A Hotdog." These interrogations help keep us safe, and I also believe that the EU considers things like sleep depravation to be "torture", so this might not be true torture.

    You never fail to disappoint with the naivety of your posts d16man.

    Are you sure you are not 16?
