38 my...my 38.

If they are missing they more than likely deserve it or they do not wish to be found.

Its strange but I never hear of other country's so called dirty laundry being thrown about trying to undermine integrity.
And don't say your country has no prisoners missing, I believe you'd be a liar.

Spies and other people who play with the things they play with know the consequences of their being caught.
So just except it and lets get on with life.

Well, already it's happened to one guy whose name was similiar to a wanted terrorist. If it's only 38 missing, I'd want to know for damn sure they deserve it. hey, why not try them and find out.
It terrifies me that the government can just up and snatch you away for ne reason other than "we say so". The argument that if I have nothing too hide I have nothing to fear works two ways; if they're clearly guilty, then try them and be done with it.

most other countries keep it to themselves. I honestly don't think we have anyone amiss at the moment, but I could be wrong.

Uh-huh, if they are guilty. Which we don't know, and have seen evidence to the contrary.
Oh yes, consider this excepted, hence the thread. I think most people would take exception to being "rendered".

HRW and their ilk are more than smucks. They are, to paraphrase Lenin, useful idiots.

It's like in my law school where the chancellor was an immigrant from Chile. We had this ugly statute in the basement to all the poor victims of torture and oppression there under Pinochet, and constant protests about the School of the Americas, and yet no-one ever had the temerity to mention the abuses of the Sandanistas or the current Cuban Administration. Much less the millions killed by Socialist/Communist regimes in Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia.

I hate oppressive governments equally, but the wolf crys of groups like HRW really fail to move me much. Their lamatations concerning 'human rights' abuses are more about politics than they are about deprivations of natural rights.

If one can't see the focus of their 'articles' here, it is beyond my poor powers to elucidate that person as to the agenda they are pushing. We need trials and international action when it concerns right-wing regimes, and an excercise of restraint when it comes to left-wing ones. If one looks at their Asia page, it mainly consists of stories about Pakistan and India, while failing to point a finger at China and/or North Korea.
