From Times Wire Reports
Security agents in Jordan are torturing terrorism suspects on behalf of the United States in hopes of forcing confessions, the human rights watchdog Amnesty International alleged in a new report.
The report, released today, said its investigators had identified about 10 suspected cases of men sent from U.S. custody to Jordan, a close U.S. ally in the Middle East.
The United States has consistently said it does not permit so-called rendition of suspects to countries that practice torture.
