Air Torture

Airtorture "Air Torture is the premiere airline transporting detainees to select torture chambers around the world. Organizations such as Amnesty International like to call our business ‘outsourcing torture’ because we deliver all our customers to countries where torture is routinely practiced – but our partners at the U.S. government have come up with a much better name: ‘extraordinary rendition.’" – Amnesty International.

Amnesty has a new website devoted to highlighting the outsourcing of torture to particularly nasty allies, like Uzbekistan. As the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, wrote in an email in July 2004:

"We receive intelligence obtained under torture from Uzbek intelligence services via the U.S. … Tortured dupes are forced to sign up to confessions showing what the Uzbek government wants the US and UK to believe … We are selling our souls for dross."
