The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has secret prisons in eastern Europe, notably in Poland and Romania, where Al-Qaeda suspects may be held, Human Rights Watch said.

'Human Rights Watch (HRW) has carried out independent investigations which suggest that the secret installations in eastern Europe...are in Poland and Romania,' said Jean-Paul Marthoz, a spokesman for the group's Belgian branch.

'Our inquiries up until now seem to indicate that Poland and Romania are the countries that received prisoners held by the CIA,' he said.

He refused to rule out that the CIA could be holding 'ghost prisoners' elsewhere in eastern Europe.

The Washington Post newspaper reported yesterday that the US intelligence agency was holding Al-Qaeda suspects in prisons in eight countries including Thailand, Afghanistan and 'several democracies in eastern Europe'.

In London, the Financial Times quoted HRW's Washington advocacy director, Tom Malinowski, as saying that the US-based group believed, based on flight records of CIA jets, that Poland and Romania hosted such secret prisons.

Once again we see who our friends are in Europe, Poland and Romania. Up yours Human Rights Watch

I have a half dozen chained up in my garage.

So???

[Whitewasher]

Can we put underwear on "Ghost Prisoners'" heads?

This is more timed-release dosage from the anti-Bush forces in the CIA. Probably part of a contingency plan in case no more than Libby were indicted. Stay tuned!

[oolatec]

Good. We need more, everywhere!

[MarkeyD]

Best case for out-sourcing I've seen yet.

"Up yours Human Rights Watch."

I second the motion. Do we have a third?

[Doctor Stochastic]

How will President Rodham utilize this resource in the coming years?

Oh, right, the Washington Compost reported it, so I should believe it?

I'll do a third!

[crosslink]

This is an outrage, next thing you know we will be putting people in basements and beheading them live on the internet ( sarcasm )

These same groups make no noise when these events occur. They are scum

[Arpege92]

I'll be fourth

[ClearCase_guy]

I predict that President Geena Davis will be shocked when she learns of this. She will release all of the prisoners and shut the prisons down.

The show will end with her poignantly learning that one of the released prisoners has blown up a school bus. But at least the prisons are empty, so we're on the moral high-ground.

Good! And here I worried we didn't really want to fight the war on terror.

Well, they're not secret now. Sooo.. we don't have secret prisons in eastern Europe anymore.

Poland and Romania have fresh experience with tyranny and facism, excellent place for secret prisons.

I personally am keeping some in my tool shed, had to run a 240v line to get full power from the electrodes.

[ANGGAPO]

First of all I wouldn't believe the Washington Post on a stack of Bibles. And second, I really don't give a rats butt about what they do to the misfits that blow up noncombatants or lop off the heads of nonbelievers. The only cure for a terrorists is a pistol ball between the eyes. It's time we got to it.

[Rosemont]

Human Rights Watch, the self proclaimed arbiters of morality, has never met a 3rd world terrorist cause they couldn't sympathize with

[zarf]

LOL! The CIA is leaking like a rusty faucet.

Man, that organization is worthless.
