Skeletons of rendition program falling out

With the Middle East uprising underway, news of western intelligence services colluding with former dictators casts dark shadows over the western democratic values. Newly discovered evidence of Libya's involvement has now been uncovered, directly implicating both UK and US intelligence services. Even though the rendition program, which was basically outsourcing the illegal activities like torture against suspect terrorists, has been public knowledge for a long time, there have been little of direct evidence. Seems UK now atleast will have get an inquiry into evidence coming out of Libya.

Problems like that are created when people are paid for results and not for how they acquire them.

I'm not surprised. It is an "open secret" that the Bush administration cooperated with several ictators - they sent prisonders to Libya ? Lybia ? and to Syria to let them be tortured.

The so-called "western countries" cooperated with all of hese dictators - simply because they were providing *stable* states/countries.

And it seems to me that they found stability to be far more important than Human Rights.
