86. It is not Time for Change's statement about torture. Amnesty International
Edited on Sat Jun-23-12 05:40 PM by No Elephants
has appealed to Obama to end torture in places like Bagram.

And Obama continued to engage in extraordinary rendition for purposes of having other nations, including Assad's Syria, to torture our captives.

I don't know if Politifact is confining itself to torture at Gitmo, but this is Amnesty's specialty and focus; and Amnesty is by no means a rightie organization.

I would go with Amnesty on the torture issue before Politifact's.
