The US military has secretly transferred more than 200 prisoners to intelligence agencies in US allies Saudi Arabi, Egypt and other countries in the past two years. This according to a report in the New York Times. The system is described as similar to the CIA’s rendition of prisoners in the so-called war on terror. Human rights groups say returning prisoners to countries like Saudi Arabia allow for even less oversight of prisoners’ treatment than what is currently allowed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Christoph Wilcke of Human Rights Watch said, “When it comes to sending people back home, there is really no way for us to find out how they are doing.”
