A REPORT ON CIA DETENTION AND RENDITION PROGRAMS

In the absence of an official public account of post-9/11 U.S. counterterrorism programs, Americans (and others) must rely on unofficial accounts.

"Globalizing Torture"
is a new report from the Open Society Justice Initiative, authored by Amrit Singh.  It is said to provide "the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the human rights abuses associated with CIA secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations. It details for the first time what was done to the 136 known victims, and lists the 54 foreign governments that participated in these operations. It shows that responsibility for the abuses lies not only with the United States but with dozens of foreign governments that were complicit."

It was reported in "Report Says 54 Countries Helped CIA After 9/11" by Scott Shane, New York Times, February 4.
