Amnesty International calls for a permanent American occupation of the entire Middle East. "Thousands of Iraqis detained by US forces are at risk of torture or even execution, following the ratification of a security agreement between the US and Iraqi governments. Under the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), which will take effect on 31 December, around 16,000 prisoners held by the US will be transferred to Iraqi custody." Amnesty International does not think that any of those prisoners were tortured under US custody. And what does Amnesty want? That the US holds all Arab prisoners everywhere to ensure their safety?
