<snip>
According to several U.S. officials involved with the negotiations, the intelligence community has long been concerned that the Senate document would enable readers to identify the many countries that aided the CIA's controversial torture program between 2002 and roughly 2006. These countries made the CIA program possible in two ways: by enabling rendition, which involved transferring U.S. detainees abroad without due legal process, and by providing facilities far beyond the reach of U.S. law where those detainees were subjected to torture.

(12,471 posts)I am seriously considering moving to the Netherlands. I already have a sponsor there, so I can get at visa that will allow me to stay there a year, and if I can learn my Dutch, become a citizen there in five years.
The country is very nice, mulch-cultural, and about 90% of the people speak English.
I am not impressed with Amsterdam, it's a tourist magnet, but there are plenty of places that are not.
The public transportation there is superb, and reasonably priced.
There are bicycles everywhere. Everyone rides bicycles. What the heck the country is relatively flat.
They only spend 1.36% of their GDP on military.
They are so far ahead of the US in a lot of ways.... They leap-frogged the US in so many ways, that are good for the people there, that it makes the US look like a second rate country.
Oh and besides, my sponsor, will eventually become my wife!
