smirk has secret torture prison near Baghdad airport

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/05/21/iraq.main/index.html

As hundreds of detainees were released from Abu Ghraib prison outside Baghdad, a senior U.S. official Friday confirmed that a previously undisclosed U.S. military interrogation facility at or near Baghdad International Airport does indeed exist.

The official said the site was run in accordance with the Geneva Conventions and all detainees were afforded their rights under that international document.

"That's not to say somebody didn't get their head dunked in the water," he said.

U.S. Special Forces participated in running the site, he added.

Gen Kimmitt got on his high horse Fri. and said about the secret prison: "any suggestion that torture is used is false and offensive."

yeah

now that this secret prison has been outed, they will just move it to another secret location, etc.

what kind of a military do we have? can a military have morals? does any country have a honorable military? is there such a thing?

Iraq, as well as Afghanistan and I believe a few other places. I read it on CounterPunch.

Oh, what do they say about rats? See one, and count 10 that you didn't see.
