Abductions by the Legal

I have just finished watching Rendition and the special documentary Outlawed by Witness on the DVD. It certainly is a worthwhile movie to sit through since it reveals some unlawful abductions of suspected individuals and subsequent interrogations in prisons of faraway land by the biggest crooks of all, CIA. These so-call suspects are transported from one prison to another and tortured without being formally charged nor their family members being informed.

This program is known as the CIA's Rendition program. It has existed prior to the 9/11 but has intensified and misused ever since 9/11. Can you imagine that a country that fight so hard for human rights is actually violating these rights itself? Should we believe in the words/speeches of those powerful that said they the government will not resort to torturing and unlawfully abducting for interrogations?

This movie and the documentary do indeed gave me a few points to ponder, especially now with the "disappearance" of the PI who released a Statutory Declaration (SD) implicating a well-known person and issued a subsequent SD reversing the first within 24 hours.

I guess once a person tasted power he/she will resort to anything and everything to not only hold on to the power but hunger for more, leading to more misuses.
