A South African spy captured by Zimbabwean counter intelligence is alleged to have been severely tortured before agreeing to co-operate with local officials

"The Zimbabwean CIO are renowned worldwide for their torture techniques and for their ability to extract information," he said today.

Perhaps we could outsource the staffing of Gitmo to Zimbabwe?

I must admit I'm surprised that South Africa would send a spy to Zimbabwe, seeing as how Thabo Mbeki has such a cozy relationship with that racist pig, Mugabe. This is where I have to take my hat off to Desmnd Tutu. He has been slamming Mugabe at every turn, while people like Nelson Mandela has been apologising and shilling for Mugabe.

Both China and North Korea helped Mugabe get entrenched in power. NK trained the infamous Fifth Brigade which went on a killing rampage in the mid 80s. I'm sure the CIO had help too, as well as developing some local tricks. Ugh.

That spy must have been through hell and back. If memory serves me right, the forms of torture that Charles Mugabe's coronies use inlcudes genital mutilation.

Wow, I am sure all the media will be carrying protest of this very real torture, now that they have set the precedent of panty hats being front page news for weeks.

After all, stopping torture was the goal, not the undermining of our military right?

Remember that email I sent you? This is only the beginning. Mugabe got a little upset at Condi because she's got his number.

This is an interesting development. Maybe Mbeki might reactivate EO or at least get some feedback from Ratte. Considering Rice's comments on Zim it makes me wonder what else has been discovered in Zim. Look at all the favors Gaddafi was doing over the past couple of years, oil, money, etc. There had to be some payback, safehouses? Nmugabe is coming to the end and the whole thing will blow up again.

<< .... Tutu ... has been slamming Mugabe at every turn, while people like Nelson Mandela has been apologising and shilling for Mugabe. >>

That's because poor silly Tutu is only stupid -- albiet thicker than two planks -- while Mandela and Mbeki and the rest of their lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering Marxist mob are every bit as bloody evil as Mugabe!
