“They are kept without charge or access to lawyers and families.

U.S. government officials contacted by AP have acknowledged questioning prisoners in Ethiopia. But they said American agents were following the law and were fully justified in their actions because they are investigating past attacks and current threats of terrorism”

I like the way they link “questioning” by the US to “They are kept without charge or access to lawyers”

Another left wing hit job.

The MSM can’t die soon enough for me.

Honestly I don’t see what the problem is here. Women and ‘children’ are just as capable of planning and carrying out terrorist attacks as any men that might be involved. And denying access to lawyers and families is a wise security measure: these individuals, clearly sympathetic to the suspects in prison, could be used to get messages out to terrorist cells. I would hope that the CIA already has the families of these individuals under surveillance.

It doesn’t matter where the prison is at. It matters that it’s keeping dangerous individuals locked away so they can’t harm innocent American citizens. Laugh if you want, but the child’s terrorist family could certainly find uses for one even that young. There are already reports of children being used as human shields, why not a baby with a diaper full of C4? That baby is lucky that it’s with its mother and both are locked away from any conveniently Iranian supplied explosives.

I suspect that most of the ‘children’ in question are in fact teenagers, and what better confused, angsty group to accept the path of martyrdom? These kids don’t have positive things to put their time into.
