Bob Herbert of the NYT asks a GOP person about a law banning the outsourcing of torture.
..."The speaker does not support the Markey proposal. He believes that suspected terrorists should be sent back to their home countries."
Surprised, I asked why suspected terrorists should be sent anywhere. Why shouldn't they be held by the United States and prosecuted?
"Because," said Mr. Jeffries, "U.S. taxpayers should not necessarily be on the hook for their judicial and incarceration costs."
Mirror of Herbert's NYT article. He has discovered Maher Arar.
