CIA-run secret prison camps AND Karl Rove's home in Rosemary Beach in Walton County

From Wayne Madsen Report

November 3, 2005 -- The leak of information about a network of CIA-run secret prison camps ("black" sites) in a number of countries, including Afghanistan, Thailand, Cuba (Guantanamo Bay), and six Eastern European countries is another indication that the intelligence agency's rank-and-file are critical of draconian methods, including the CIA's "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques," to glean intelligence from suspected terrorists. The part of the CIA that has not yet been purged CIA Director Porter Goss is in open warfare against the neo-cons, according to one CIA agent who spoke on the condition of anonymity. U.S. officials claim the names of the Eastern European countries are being withheld because releasing them would hurt U.S. "counter terrorism" operations in the countries. The truth is that the names are being withheld to prevent an investigation by the European Court of Human Rights and European Union Human Rights Commission. Nevertheless, the European Union is now investigating the secret prisons. The likely locations of the secret prisons, according to informed sources, are Poland, Romania, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, and Croatia.

November 3, 2005 -- More on Karl Rove's under-assessed house in Florida. As reported by WMR on October 29, Karl Rove's home in Rosemary Beach in Walton County, Florida seems to be one of the few houses in America that has depreciated in value. While it was bought for $165,000 in 2002, it has been assessed three years later at only $155,000. Other similar homes in the area are being assessed at $350,000 and higher. Is Rove a tax scofflaw courtesy of the man sitting in the Governor's mansion in Tallahassee?
