Sent to be tortured

The United States "very likely" sent a Canadian software engineer to Syria, where he was tortured, based on the false accusation by Canadian authorities that he was suspected of links to al-Qaida, according to a new government report.

This AP article talks about the United States' practice of extraordinary rendition. It is illegal. The CIA does not get to make the laws. Come on.

What I really don't understand is this:

U.S. and Syrian officials refused to cooperate with the Canadian inquiry.

How does our country get to refuse to cooperate?
