CIA rendered 14 suspects to Jordan for torture...
snip:
Human Rights Watch said Jordanian intelligence officials denied in August that they had held prisoners handed over by the United States and that torture was practiced.

"However, given the weight of credible evidence showing otherwise, their denials are unconvincing," it said.

"The Bush administration claims that it has not transferred people to foreign custody for abusive interrogation," said Joanne Mariner, terrorism and counterterrorism director at Human Rights Watch. "But we've documented more than a dozen cases in which prisoners were sent to Jordan for torture."

It said the prisoners rendered to Jordan were believed to include at least five Yemenis, three Algerians, two Saudis, a Mauritanian, a Syrian, a Tunisian, one or more Chechens. They may have included a Libyan, an Iraqi Kurd, a Kuwaiti, at least one Egyptian, and a national of the United Arab Emirates.
