Secret prisons? What secret prisons?

The CIA did, in fact, abduct and transfer terrorism suspects to secret prisons in Europe “without respect for any legal standards,” according to a Swiss investigator Dick Marty (in photo), who presented his findings Tuesday to the 46-nation Council of Europe, a human rights watchdog. Marty said that he believed the United States was no longer holding prisoners clandestinely in Europe and believes they were moved to Morocco in early November, when reports about secret U.S. prisons first emerged, the Associated Press reported. Marty also deplored that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice wouldn’t provide any information or explanation about the secret prisons during her European Union trip last week.

    It is NO secret we have secret prisions!

    So whats the secret?

    Now, it can be said: What secret prisions”? Vote for me again so we can sell all your American jobs to China or India and just put a fence around all of America …. so it can be ONE big secret prision for you to live!

    Our inner cities are war zones.

    Iran and Korea are building nuclear weapons of MASS destruction.

    We don’t have money for education.

    Our borders are wide open.

    Our jobs are being moved to Russia, China, and India.

    And this fool admits the data for the war in Iraq was incorect – and they want to continue to speend hundreds of billions and dead American kids to keep it going?

    I though it was 15 of 19 september 11 attackers were from Saudia Arabia?

    Where is Osama and who gave him millions to fend off the soviets?

    Is is so difficult to just put America first, for a change?

    How bad will we bankrup our ability to build new national defense programs to defend ourselves in the future for this bad quagmire in the Iraq desert?

    Why is America being dummied down, in the economy, American jobs, the defecit, education, and even our ability to defend ourselves in the future?

    For what? Lies? More Lies? When will the lies stop?

    Of course there are no secret prisons; now that we know about them, they aren’t secret.

    Hate to burst your bubble there “dubya”, but your anger is misplaced.

    It was Clinton that pushed thru NAFTA, opening the borders to anyone that wants to cross.

    The exporting of jobs is not the President’s job, it is corporate America that is taking advantage of cheaper labor.

    And, btw, the trade deficit is not something the president controls, either.

    Inner cities have been declining for decades, both under Republican AND Democratic presidents.

    Your rant is off base on several topics. Stick to the facts when you are attacking if you would, please. Your rant becomes a lot more believable then.

    So what’s the big deal? It’s not like we’re torturing American protesters or something. Everybody’s soooo hard to please! We got a problem with torture. Ok, don’t torture them in America. But oh, no….that’s not good enough. We complain when they torture them in Iraq! So the CIA goes and tortures people in secret, and still we complain. If Liberals had their way, we wouldn’t be able to torture anybody anywhere, and then what kind of world would this be?
