Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

EXPEDITED REMOVAL LAW SOUGHT
Here's a review of a new bill, introduced last week in Congress by House Speaker Dennis Hastert and others, that would allow the U.S. government to transfer prisoners under its control to the security forces of countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt for questioning.

Convention Against Torture; the U.S. is a party this treaty.
