Yet another reason I feel ashamed to be an American.
Times UK article
In further defiance of international law and the sovereignty of other nations, the U.S. government has announced it feels it can kidnap anyone it wants from anywhere in the world.
The CIA has been doing this for years with it's covert "rendition" program to apprehend "suspected terrorists". Even though this has been globally condemned as violating numerous rights, treaties, and international laws, the principle is now being expanded to include anyone anywhere whom the U.S. government wants to prosecute for anything.
This is very saddening and deeply disturbing...
