#2 Al Guardian, in its classic fuck-America style, implies much that the facts do not bear out. Example: Detainees sent to Syria. Syria cannot be called a key ally - by any stretch of imagination. How these people are treated, where detained, etc. is certainly not under the control of the US and if, as implied, these "have disappeared without trace" - precisely what does the US have to do with it? AlG should bash the Syrians (and all other Arab regimes, in fact) for the total lack of press freedoms and accuracy.

Pfeh. In many ways this is a pure hit piece.

If they stuck to the simple facts, eliminated the obvious crap and spin and vitriol, they might have some credibility. Including such tripe as Syria and implying the US is somehow culpable for how Syria handles terrorists is typical Al Guardian Bullshit. Can you say Agenda? How, pray-tell, can anyone believe any of the rest after finding such obvious insanity? *flush*

#3 The famous Black Helicopter Detachment is assigned to the invisible prison located next to the Tri-Lateral Commission Headquarters at an undisclosed location. Coincidently (?) this is the same undisclosed location where CHAINY has been hiding. I swear, mucky told me all of this.

#4 Sounds like someone made some good decisions on how to treat the many piles of crap that we are picking up in the WOT. I wonder how I can volunteer to fly the black helocopters to the secret prisons? Wait they are flying over head now to pick me up.....See you L8tr.

#6 "according to CIA sources"
"and a large number are believed to have been sent to Saudi Arabia, where CIA agents are allowed to sit in on some of the interrogations."

#8 "Allahu Akbar! The foolish infidels have detained me next to the alien bodies from Roswell! I shall be the most famous jihadi of them all. Hey wait-- this one looks Jewish."

#10 The US has been using GITMO as a shiny object to focus all scrutiny on, and it's worked marvelously. Right after the ball got rolling, some CIA agent let slip that one of the other prisons is knicknamed "The Hotel California", not because of its location, but through some cryptic and icky references to the lyrics of that song.

A "friend" speculated that they should have a "Rat" program. A "Stainless Steel Rat" is loaded with internal tracking devices. A "Cannibal Rat" has been reprogrammed to kill his buddies when he gets back home--seek and destroy. A "Blam Rat" is filled with very advanced explosives and doesn't know it--lethal to anyone within 30 feet when he is detonated. He suggested another half dozen "Rat" types.

So let me pose a question to the assembled: is the US using its really horrific X-Files tech on these bad boys? Psychotropic drugs, chip implants, brainwashing, etc. And if not, then *why* not?
