Torture"R"Us

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) concluded a protracted investigation into CIA black site detentions within signatory countries on Thursday. The ECHR concluded that both Romania and Lithuania knowingly hosted such detention sites. Poland had already been found four years ago to have done so as well.

The secret detention centers contravene the European Human Rights Convention, of which the nations are signatories. The convention prohibits torture, and the court noted the nations definitely knew CIA treatment would be in violation of this.

And what purpose did these black sites serve? They certainly did not stop the terror attacks in Europe.

If they accomplished anything at all, it might have been in the interests of Israel. We should NOT be debasing ourselves to this level for their benefit. We cannot destroy evil by becoming evil ourselves.

Gina Haspel should be in a prison cell awaiting trial in The Hague, not running the CIA.
