A fair number of Afgan detainees were turned over to the US by their neighbors as a way to settle local feuds and disputes. Just accuse them of Taliban and off the go.

Correct. Even those few possible culprits there should have had proper legal proceedings. George W. Bush and large parts of his administration are war criminals, in several senses.

And Mehdi-Muhammed Ghezali, born July 5, 1979 in Botkyrka in Sweden, [1] in the media also called Cuba Swede and Guantanamo Swede, is a Swedish-Algerian citizen who was detained at the US military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba from January 2002 to July 2004 . The US has never revealed what Ghezali are suspected of or whatever the suspicions are founded in. No charges have also been brought against him.

54 countries helped CIA to kidnap, detain and torture – report

European countries such as the UK, Sweden and Italy even helped to apprehend individuals, interrogate and transfer them.

Now you are scating on thin ice.
I think I know what you mean but I can explain why it happened.

Why do you use Russian media to prove your point?

Ok. Here is the story.
Sweden have NOT helped CIA to kidnap or torture anyone!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repatriation_of_Ahmed_Agiza_and_Muhammad_al-Zery
Yes they where detained but the transfer was done by the US and CIA!
The plane used by CIA to transfer them!
A Gulfstream planes used by the CIA for renditions. N829MG later received the designation N259SK.
I can describe how CIA handled the suspects during the rendition but thats not very childfriendly!

Aftermath.
In March 2007, the Swedish government overturned the decision to repatriate Alzery. A short time before, an application for residence permit was denied on grounds that he was deported. In May 2007, the repatriation of Agiza was also overturned.[14]
In July 2008, and September 19, 2008 they were each awarded 3 million SEK ($380,000) in damages in a settlement with the Swedish ministry of justice.
In November 2009, the Swedish government on appeal denied the renewed applications for residence in Sweden that had been submitted following the formal overturning of the repatriations in March 2007.
In July 2012, the Swedish government granted Agiza a permanent residence permit.

Allegation of US threats.
In January 2009 it was claimed that the United States had threatened to impose trade barriers on the European Union if the two men were not transferred. Reporter Eva Franchell, friend of the deceased foreign minister Anna Lindh, witness to her murder, and at an earlier stage her press secretary, published a book about Lindh where she described the difficulties surrounding the repatriation decision, as well as the participation of other politicians who allegedly later conveniently shoved the responsibility over to the deceased Lindh.

Having a gun will protect you.

If you are in an environment where you 'need to have a gun'...


THEN EXPECT TO GET SHOT.


It's that simple.

Simply remove the guns for something better.


Geee-whizz... Is that why I turned down a job in the great US-of-A?...

That and the homophobia, xenophobia, and silly long work hours expected regardless of results and regardless of merit. I actually got the comment from a boss saying "Geee, you're too happy, we're not working you hard enough!"... Not that actually, good working made things work well...


Only in the USA...

Good luck!

Stones I suppose. Or do you want to ban stones as well?

Silly man, you must remove the crazy hate. As long as it exists, humans will kill.

Geeze...
Stone throwers are not a threat to life.
Guns are designed to be a threat to life!
Assualts rifles are designed to be a threat to life in a very effective way!

Come to think about it.
Your home is a very dangerous place.
Most accidents and sometime fatal ones occur in it.
Should we ban homes?

On the other hand...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EU_Summit_2001
What's not mentioning in the english version of wiki is that there was a lot of stonethrowing in that summit and one of them got shot by the police.

How about stone sling throwers?

Ancient peoples used the sling in combat—armies included both specialist slingers and regular soldiers equipped with slings. As a weapon, the sling had several advantages; a sling bullet lobbed in a high trajectory can achieve ranges in excess of 400 metres (1,300 ft).

Anything can be turned into a weapon of death.

And hands that could strangulate you.
