Torture-by-Proxy

Would the US purposefully send suspected terrorists to other countries so that they could be tortured in ways they would never be inside the United States?

Arar: I was asked, (by) the Americans, on the second day of intensive interrogation. They asked me a couple of questions about my political views and I was very open, I had nothing to hide. They asked me about Iraq, Palestinian and bin Laden. I was very clear. For instance, when they asked me about the war in Iraq, I said I don’t support wars in general. I don’t support terrorism in any kind of, in any form and I told them Saddam Hussein is a dictator, but who is going to suffer in this war are the people. — via CTV.ca

Of the many questions he has, one seems to take precedence over all the others.

“For starters, I want to know why the United States sent me to one of the seven countries that the Bush administration has designated a sponsor of state terrorism - and that President Bush singled out just last month as a country that tortures its own people.” — via CS Monitor

I think we can safely say the answer to the above question is “Yes.” Now I’m wondering : Who else is missing, from where, for how long, and who should be held responsible?
