Sweden a torture-state? Credibility-crisis! (front page article (Weiner))

[praxiz]

The latter memos asserted that a president acting as "commander-in-chief" during "wartime" is above the law and can rule as he sees fit, overriding Congress and the courts. (In the meantime, the U.S. continues to send its most difficult terrorist suspects to supportive countries abroad - Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Sweden, etc. - that don't have such strict anti-torture statutes.)

Sweden condones torture now? :wtf:

Where in the name of hell does this guy gets his information? The credibility of the Democratic Underground writers just took a serious hit, as far as I am concerned.

I mean, come on.. I know IKEA and meatballs can seem daunting to certain people, but calling it torture is a bit far fetched.

Last time I heard Sweden had anything to do with the "War On Terra" it was that Saddam Hussein wanted to be sent there to live in exile. And probably not because he enjoys getting tortured.

I demand to know what source Bernard Weiner has for this. I suspect he has none, which pretty much destroys every credibility I ever felt Democratic Underground had.

Now I won't be able to trust anything I see here, either.

PS: I'm not Swedish, I'm Norwegian (No, that's not the capital of Sweden).
