Outsourcing jobs
January 27th, 2006 at 9:28 am by David FarrarJacqueline Passey takes the normal protectionist complaints about free trade to complain that the US outsourcing of torture is “not fair to American torturers that they now have to compete with torturers in other countries who will work for lower wages, fewer benefits, and in worse working conditions”.
Heh.

Meh, Fafblog did it better years ago:
“Giblets knows that there are some out there who will say, “Oh, but countries like Saudi Arabia and Syria can do torture cheaper and better than we can, why should we try to compete?” Well, Giblets is holding a little something in the thumbscrews of his heart called patriotism, and Giblets thinks American workers can compete with anyone else in the world! Sure, these other countries have been at it longer than we have, but with gumption and stick-to-it-iveness Americans can rise to the top of anything!
Torture is as American as baseball, apple pie, preventive war, the equating of dissent with treason, and the principle of a commander-in-chief who stands above the law. So stand proud, Americans, and write your congressmen to tell them you don’t want your country outsourcing torture.”
