United States of America - Amnesty International: "On 22 June, after the leaking of earlier government documents relating to the war on terror suggesting that torture and ill-treatment had been envisaged, the administration took the step of declassifying selected documents to set the record straight. However, the released documents showed that the administration had sanctioned interrogation techniques that violated the UN Convention against Torture and that the President had stated in a central policy memorandum dated 7 February 2002 that, although the USAs values call for us to treat detainees humanely, there are some who are not legally entitled to such treatment.
