Hussein Enters Post-9/11 Web of U.S. Prisons By JAMES RISEN and THOM SHANKER, NYTimes
Saddam Hussein is now prisoner No. 1 in what has developed into a global detention system run by the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency, according to government officials.
It is a secretive universe, they said, made up of large and small facilities scattered throughout the world that have sprouted up to handle the hundreds of suspected terrorists….
Many of the prisoners are still being held in a network of detention centers ranging from Afghanistan to the United States Naval Base at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. Officials described it as a prison system with its own unique hierarchy, one in which the most important captives are kept at the greatest distance from the prying eyes of the public and the media. It is a system in which the jailers have refined the arts of interrogation in order to drain the detainees of crucial information. …
The C.I.A. has quietly established its own detention system to handle especially important prisoners. … In dealing with its captives, the C.I.A. has the advantage of almost complete isolation.
Wow Mark! That sounds pretty sinister.
I kind of figured that, and of course you know all this stuff goes along with Right Wing Conspiricy theory, almost as if George Bush
studied up and decided to live out the nightmares of those Parinoid Right Wingers. I am pretty upset with the Bush administration myself,
for some of the things you have here and lots more too.
Oh, and thanks for posting on the Edwards site, I didn’t know who you were,
and at first mistook you for someone else who puts a long address after their posts. Then I realized it was not the ususal, so I checked
out your site. I like it but you don’t seem to be getting a lot of comments. How long have you been up?
I support Edwards, because
he is positive. I like him, and think he would be a great president, but I will support fully whomever gets the nomination. I hope the
Candidates don’t argue too much either, but I still hope Edwards wins. A few people on the site really hate Dean, but I have never heard
anyone really say anything bad about the others. Edwards is pretty sparing with critizism in general. He is a good guy. Who are you
supporting?
Good reading
