Maybe that's why nobody's been able to find Osama in almost 4 years of combing caves and mountains.
Heh... I can just see him, chained to a really big oar.

If it's true, what's the illegality? If it's false, what's the betting line that some of the figures implicated in oil-for-food floated the rumor?

"And it is true. Prisoners are often kept in the brigs of navy vessels while awaiting transport from one place to another, especially if captured at sea."

Commie word trickery: Take something normal, and make it sound bad.

I guess the UN wants us to invent a transporter device so that prisoners can be moved instantly? Or buy them first class plane tickets so they can travel in style?

It was a small ship.

I guess the lack of proof is unimportant, it's the seriousness of the charge, right?

Why would we need to take up space on a US Navy vessel when we can keep their sorry butts on a communist island instead?

Hmmm.. I'll bet that the "prisoner ships" prove to be as elusive as the Flying Dutchman.

What about that rumor before the Iraq war that the muslims had several terror ships at sea?

Dunno. Here's a link to a story from February 2004

OSAMA'S NAVY Bin Laden has bought fleet of 15 ships for terror attacks

You wouldn't maybe, possibly be suggesting that they might :<) actually exist, would you? Hmmmm? Whattaworld.

"...in the Indian Ocean as a site for prisoners."

Nah...Bermuda Triangle.
