Confronting Rendition to Torture in North Carolina http://www.counterpunch.org/hanrahan07092010.html

“Clearly torture is a serious crime. But it is connected with the two wars [Afghanistan and Iraq],” Horgan continued. “By torturing somebody you are removing some of their human rights, albeit very seriously and very grossly. By killing somebody you are removing all of their human rights. You are removing their very existence. Killing or causing the deaths, directly or indirectly, of one million people, and killing 200,000 children, or causing their deaths, [in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan] is absolutely a gross crime against humanity, regardless of who does it.”
