I can't believe Amnesty are surprised that the CIA behaves in that way - has it stopped for a moment to wonder why the CIA is seen in much of the world as a symbol of US imperialist oppression? The CIA has trained others to use torture, death and the threat of death as a standard weapon. Is Amnesty not aware of that?
