Today several human rights groups published a paper in a 39 people who have been disappeared by the United States all over the world. Last September "President" George Bush exclaimed on national television that 11 suspects that were held in illegal secret CIA prisons had been turned over to the US military, his exact statement was, "So I'm announcing today that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, and 11 other terrorists in CIA custody have been transferred to the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay." Now the interesting thing about this announcement was that until that day the administration denied that the CIA even had secret prisons. One of the interesting tidbits from that same press conference was Bush also telling us, "The current transfers mean that there are now no terrorists in the CIA program." So the statement begs the question, if the illegal CIA rendition program has no terrorists in it, then where are the 39 missing people?

Now one of the most disturbing things that came out of this report was the following statement...

Also according to Mohammed, he and Majid were detained in the same place where two of Khalid Sheik Mohammed’s young children, ages about 6 and 8, were held. The Pakistani guards told my son that the boys were kept in a separate area upstairs, and were denied food and water by other guards. They were also mentally tortured by having ants or other creatures put on their legs to scare them and get them to say where their father was hiding.

That is the best we can expect from the United States under the Bush of ministration, under Bush, the once beacon of human rights, now condones tortures children. Six and eight-year-olds are now considered terrorists to Bush, and it is okay to torture them. What the flop happened to my American.

7. This is not the Country of my ideals

However, as recently as the 40's, American Mining and Refining would capture Mexican Indians, forcing them to work in their mines (and when they struck sent Gen. Pershing over to border to quell strikes) and therefore could not farm or hunt, would through the company store fore them to buy Campell Soup crates to bury their children who died of starvation!

Are we surprised? NO!

3. is there nothing this bastard can not get away with?

I'm sick to death of the next more horrible thing he does and goes scott free. He has NO conscience so he doesn't care, it doesn't even bother him. He needs to be made accountable. They all do. All that really matters to these bullies is their money. That is what would make them all scream like mashed cats; get them in the wallet!

6. This is entirely unsurprising. I have suspected since Sy Hersh broke the story

about the children of Iraqis we tortured by soaking them in water and driving them around in the freezing night air in the open back of a truck for hours. I have absolutely no doubt so much very worse was done.

8. You left out the rapes

11. Oops. n/t

9. How could any moral person not support impeachment and imprisonment?

How many lines need to be crossed before people wake up and see the monster we have running our country.

I am to the point where I must conclude that anyone who knows what is going on yet does not support impeachment is an immoral person. There is absolutely no justification for allowing someone like this to continue to run the country.

10. Does Madame Squeaker know about this? I guess not.

It would clutter another beautiful mind. We can't have that.

12. If someone did that to my kids, I'd

fly an airplane into his house.
