#2 The detainees were removed without
notification to the International Red Cross, congressional oversight committees, the Defense Department or CIA investigators, the newspaper said in Sunday editions, citing unidentified government officials.

The 'right' prisoners are being taken out of country or into that good night to be emptied of information, which is what should have happened with many of the Abu Ghraib prisoners.

Good for the spooks.

The most troubling part of this story is it is by unnamed sources. More shoddy journalism by the WaPo.

#4 I saw this one coming a while back. Someone said "There are only a hundred or so foreign fighters being kept in Iraq"; to which the response was, "Aha, so that means it's the Iraqis that are rising up against the US!, NOT foreign fighters!"

#8 Lots of noise is made over the US violationg Geneva protocols is has never even signed on to. Is this one of them? Many Europeans and Americans are under the impression the USA is under all those agreements The US has not adopted all of them. Since when do the Geneva accords apply to multi national terroists and criminals anyway?

If you are fighting a nation that has violated the the accords or isn't even governed by the same political system that originally signed are we supposed to just ignore that? Well I guess we are. Thats just plain stupid.
