American Torturing Jobs Increasingly Outsourced.
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 05:15 PM by Dancing_Dave
From the Onion, of course:

"WASHINGTON, DC—AFL-CIO vice president Linda Chavez-Thompson, representing the American Federation of Interrogation Torturers, released a statement Monday deriding the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program, under which American torturing jobs are outsourced to foreign markets. "Outsourcing the task of interrogating terror suspects to countries like Egypt, Syria, and Saudi Arabia is having a crippling effect on the Americans who make a living by stripping detainees nude, shackling them to the floor, and beating the living shit out of them," Chavez-Thompson said. "And specialists within the field—corrosive-material chemists, ocular surgeons, and testicular electricians—are lucky to find any jobs at all. How are they supposed to feed their families?" Attorney General Alberto Gonzales defended extraordinary rendition, saying the program will create jobs in the long run by fostering a global climate of torture tolerance."


I've noticed that Bush Administration has taken to outsourcing some psyops and terrorism too. But there always is that risk of decreased quality and reliability. When you have the CIA do all the dirty work themselves, you know they'll really deliver a Boeing 757 to the Pentagon just when you are saying that terrorists have done it. Just because some guy has a racy, terrorist sounding name, doesn't mean he can fly a good psyop!
