Our Friends Until They Are Our Enemies

So it seems that we were a little cozier with the good Colonel than recent events would lead us to believe. As today's Globe & Mail describes it

The intelligence documents found in Tripoli, meanwhile, provided new details on the ties between Western countries and Col. Gadhafi's regime. Many of those same countries backed the NATO attacks that helped Libya's rebels force Col. Gadhafi from power.
One notable case is that of Abdel-Hakim Belhaj, commander of the anti-Gadhafi rebel force that now controls Tripoli. Mr. Belhaj is the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, a now-dissolved militant group with links to al-Qaeda. Mr. Belhaj says he was tortured by CIA agents at a secret prison, then returned to Libya.
Two documents from March 2004 appear to be American correspondence to Libyan officials to arrange Mr. Belhaj's rendition.
Referring to him by his nom de guerre, Abdullah al-Sadiq, the documents say he will be flown from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Libya and asks for Libyan government agents to accompany him.
It also requests American “access to al-Sadiq for debriefing purposes once he is in your custody.”
“Please be advised that we must be assured that al-Sadiq will be treated humanely and that his human rights will be respected,” the document says.

Of course, if we wanted him treated humanely, why the F*&% did we send him to Libya?

Just asking.
