The "CIA holds terror suspects in secret prisons," writes Dana Priest in the Washington Post, November 2, 2005. At first, there seems to be nothing here to knock the breath out of anyone who’s had half an eye cocked at the squalid goings-on in the empire's mini-gulag.Then, Priest's article talks about some thirty of the highest value suspects being held in "black sites" dotting nameless Eastern European democracies.
"The Eastern European countries that the CIA has persuaded to hide al Qaeda captives are democracies that have embraced the rule of law and individual rights after decades of Soviet domination."
Oh good. Always reassuring to know that hired torturers believe in the Bill of Rights.
