TRIPOLI: Documents found in the abandoned Tripoli office of Muammar Gadaffi's intelligence chief indicate the US and British spy agencies helped the fallen strongman persecute Libyan dissidents, Human Rights Watch said.
The files shed new light on the practice known as rendition, used by the US under former President George W Bush, in which the terrorism suspects were handed over to other countries for interrogation. Rights groups have criticized the US for sending these suspects to countries where they were likely to be tortured.
According to CNN, which also just aired this story but hasn't yet put it on their website, the "rendition" papers were faxed under the Bush administration, but Obama used emails. They aren't yet sure whether subjects were sent to Libya for torture under the present administration.
Surely, more news of this will follow.
