#1 Article: "The person sent back to Egypt under these circumstances is almost surely going to be tortured," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director for Human Rights Watch.

That would be a feature, not a bug.

#4 Most of the countries transferring detainees to Egypt are Arab or South Asian, but the list also includes Sweden and the United States.

#5 The United States and other countries have secretly sent scores of Islamist detainees to Egypt since the mid-1990s, where they have likely been tortured, a human rights group has said.

Who the phuque cares about Islamists? They're the worst kind of vermin.

Oh, and screw Human Rights Watch.

#7 Only 61? I would have bet that number was ten-fold by now. "transfers usually occur in secret and without legal safeguards." Boo Friggen Hoo!

#8 You don't want them sent somewhere they will be tortured? OK, fine; we'll simply kill them immediately.
