| CIA prisons 'in Poland, Romania' |
| 2005-11-03 |
| FLIGHT records and other evidence points to Poland and Romania as countries that allowed their territory to be used by the CIA to hold top suspected al-Qaeda captives, Human Rights Watch said overnight. Tom Malinowski, the Washington director of the human rights group, said the evidence, though circumstantial, strongly pointed to Poland and Romania as being among the unidentified eastern European countries referred to in a Washington Post report yesterday on secret CIA-run prisons. Mr Malinowski said sources in Afghanistan told the New York-based rights organisation that top al-Qaeda suspects, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, were moved out of Afghanistan in September 2003. The same month, a Boeing 737 leased by the CIA to transport prisoners departed from Kabul and made stops at remote airfields in Poland and Romania before continuing on to Morocco and then to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, he said. "It's a large aircraft so one could imagine a large group of detainees flying on this plane, as against some other smaller executive jets that they used," he said. "The fact that it stops in eastern Europe, then Morocco and then Guantanamo suggests different classes of prisoners being deposited in different places," he said. |

| #12 Malinowski... Malinowski... Malinowski... That wouldn't be a POLISH surname by any chance, would it? Anyway, thanks Poland and Romania. Your help is appreciated. By some of us. |

| #11 HRW, what is their position on beheading of prisoner by Al Queda? We must respect diverse points of view and understand the root causes....and somehow it's the fault of Americans and Jews. |

| #8 Ok I will surrender that fact that we may be holding some prisoners in other countriesâ¦.SO WHAT! HRW acts like we are kidnapping children off the streets and selling them into slavery. IF this is really happening, I strongly suspect we are not grabbing the average Acmed off the streets and spiriting him away from his motherland. More than likely we are using these facilities sparingly for those deemed special prisoners. Have them in a third party country would make them think twice about their standing (as a POW) and what protections they think they might have. They already know that if they are sent to Gitmo the worst thing they could expect is being forced to listen to Harry Potter, play soccer, or being straddled by some female interrogator. If they find themselves in a backwater base in say Romania might make them think twice as to how well they are treated. Itâs all about getting leverage over them and making them give up the goods. You will never EVER break them by asking, âpretty pleaseâ one hundred jillion times. Oh and FUCK the HRW, what is their position on beheading of prisoner by Al Queda? |
