Is it just the US who are involved?
It's not just the US who are involved. Some of their allies have been pretty culpable as well. Britain has played a role. We like to be pious in Britain about the United States but we were complicit in some of these manoeuvres including for example Bisher al-Rawi and Amil el-Banna - two British residents who were abducted by the United States in Gambia. Well, it's clear that the British gave the information to the Americans to do that and there have been a number of instances of similar things like that. Many other countries have been involved. The US has used Poland and Romania for example to have prisons. They've used some of the really nasty places. When you talk about Jordan, Syria, Egypt and the CIA there's a guy called Bob Baer, a former CIA agent, that said "If you want someone really interrogated you take him to Jordan, if you want them really abused you go to Syria, and if you want them to disappear forever you take them to Egypt," and the Americans have done that. But then almost every European country in one way or another has been complicit. For example, in the flights of planes, they allow their airspace to be used or their airports to be used. There's a lot of complicity. But of course the big misdemeanant felon has been the United States.
