As I said in my other post -- the facts that Human Rights Watch decries do not support the characterization of Sweden as a place that the US would send suspects *to*, as one of those countries "that don't have such strict anti-torture statutes".

It is evidently quite false to state that Sweden does not have anti-torture statutes as strict as the US's. But it appears that Sweden, like the US (qualitatively, though hardly quantitatively), has been complicit in torture by rendering individuals to states where they foreseeably if not certainly face torture.

I would say your complaint about the article is valid. The characterization of Sweden is false. Sweden does have a blot on its copy-book in this respect, but it is certainly not a country without strict anti-torture laws, it and should not be characterized as such to an audience of people of whom most are unlikely to have any knowledge about the real facts and many are likely to believe just about anything bad about countries and peoples they know nothing about.
