From staff reports

North Carolina Stop Torture Now released a scorecard Tuesday on the Obama administration's actions on torture during its first year in office.

The scorecard expressed concern that the administration may be violating the constitutional and human rights of detainees who are terror suspects.

In particular it called on Gov. Bev Perdue and the state's congressional delegation to begin investigations into Aero Contractors and Centurion Aviation of Johnston County for their role in the transfer of terror suspects abroad.

The group is co-sponsoring a conference at Duke University April 8-10 on extraordinary rendition, the extrajudicial transfer of a person from one country to another.
