Actually Bush said they never stopped renditioning. He did say that (around that time) the current people renditioned would be returned to gitmo/home country but that further renditions would continue.

Sadly this is hardly a surprise at all. The US has done this sort of thing in the past and will do so again in future. Remember supporting terror and kidnapping people is only bad when the US isn't doing it sigh...

Cannot remember the citation, but it was once said, "They never judge the victor." Doubt that the largely USA financed and New York headquartered UN will bring them to court anytime soon to judge them for kidnapping (or whatever label they want to put on it).

The USA is the only superpower at present (since the decline and fall of the CCCP, that also had a record of kidnapping people), but someday that power will shift, if you can trust the research of the John Naisbitt Group. They published their results in a book called Megatrends Asia a few years ago, suggesting that the power was shifting westward to Asian countries as a megatrend. The People's Republic of China, in particular was mentioned, whereupon it will someday rival and then surpass the USA as a global superpower. Perhaps our grown up and ageing children will read about the PRC kidnapping people (or whatever they want to call it) and hiding them around the world too? If you can believe Amnestry International, the PRC has already established a record, so they have a good start? Power corrupts.

This is very true, whoever eventually takes the US place will be at a minimum just as bad, and probably worse if its China.
