Posted on 06/01/2008 9:33:21 PM PDT by frogjerk

A human rights group alleges the U.S. has operated detention facilities for terror suspects aboard Naval vessels, according to a published report in a European newspaper Monday.

A study compiled by Reprieve says the U.S. may have used as many as 17 vessels as 'prison ships' where terror detainees were subjected to interrogation as part of the acknowledged rendition program operated since 2001, The Guardian reported.

Good for us. We should charge the other nations for our services.

This is why I hate Gitmo...

And this is these so-called "human rights groups" business because....?

These so-called "human rights groups" are not under death threats from their Islamofascist buddies. Until THEY are attacked and many of their number are murdered, they need to just shut the hell up.

Well, that’s fine with me.

I just wish they’d hold some on the USS Elrod, named after one of my ancestors. That would make me proud.

The only problem is, we’d probably feed them better than the average “Joe” American soldier.

Hand wringing lefties are so funny. I suggest we let them host the “enemies.” We could set up CIA to monitor them as they beg forgiveness from those who want to kill us. Just let those misguided jihadis stay with those peaceful folks, mingle with them and their families.

Good thing they haven't discovered the detention facility in the dairy cooler in the back of that 7-Eleven in Wichita.

Ok, so what if they no longer float? No more problem.

What does this “human rights” group suggest, that we release all of the terrorists and wannabes to wreck havoc on the whole world. This is the same human rights group, Reprieve, trying to abolish the death penalty for cold blooded killers.

There has been no terrorist attack on U.S. soil since 9-11. Our military and Homeland Security are only doing their jobs protecting us. I don’t know anyone who has been unjustly detained, do you? If it were so widespread and against innocents (or even the guilty), our loose-lipped lefty MSM would be all over it.

My reaction too. So what if POW are held on ships? I suspect they are in clean conditions and fed regularly.

It seems to me a while back we were proposing to send some detainees to their home countries but the same left-wing wackos who don't want them detained didn't want them released to their home countries for fear they might be tortured.
