Maybe the CIA will cause the Marines 'rendition';
Four Marines charged in Philippines gang rape
Two also are cleared of assault at former U.S. military base

OLONGAPO CITY, Philippines — Philippine prosecutors charged four U.S. Marines on Tuesday with raping a 22-year-old Filipino woman in early November but cleared two other soldiers who had also been accused.

Washington has not responded publicly to an earlier request by the Philippine foreign affairs department to transfer custody of the Marines to local authorities.

<snip>

In affidavits, five of the Marines had disputed allegations that the woman was gang-raped in a van at a former U.S. Navy base at Subic Bay, suggesting there was consensual sex.

The sixth soldier, who had also taken part in two-week military exercises with Philippine troops in October, did not submit an affidavit.

1. Too clarify...
I didn't know what you meant until I read the article below.

By "rendition" you mean kidnapping people like the CIA does.

CIA Probes Renditions of Terror Suspects

By KATHERINE SHRADER, Associated Press Writer 2 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The
CIA's independent watchdog is investigating fewer than 10 cases where terror suspects may have been mistakenly swept away to foreign countries by the spy agency, a figure lower than published reports but enough to raise some concerns.

After the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001,
President Bush gave the CIA authority to conduct the now-controversial operations, called "renditions," and permitted the agency to act without case-by-case approval from the White House or other administration offices.

The highly classified practice involves grabbing terror suspects off the street of one country and flying them to their home country or another where they are wanted for a crime or questioning.

3. You're right;
I was trying too hard to usethe fact that the CIA kidnaps bad guys and then takes them to other countries which in turn torture them into confessing their crimes and any other thing that may have been on their minds. I goofed. Sorry about that.:shrug:
