Who was Prisoner "XXX" that America hid from the Red Cross ?

Was it Saddam Hussein himself? Was it the ambassador that used to speak on the TV shows in this country whose name I cannot recollect? But he was a nice, soft-spoken individual who did not "seem" like a criminal but he was arrested when they were capturing the deck of cards. Any other ideas ?

7. A "high value" Prisoner.

He was so highly valued that they now claim that he got lost in the system. Secret prisoners and secret prison camps are against the Geneva Convention. Why hasn't anyone been charged with crimes regarding this?

6. Actually according to news reports today, Rummy admits there were 2

prisoners not one. According to the Chicago Tribune he admits to secretly detaining at least two terror suspects. Hell, I've thought for a while they've had OBL. We'll know if up and appears any time between now and the election.

8. Well..he got away with admitting there

was one, so two isn't out of line for him. Actually there are probably hundreds in the prisons we don't even know about, and even more in the prisons we DO know about.

10. Yep, according to a release by NY based Human Rights group

there is an entire system of underground detention centers where terror suspects and other enemy combatants, enemies of the state, etc. are being held without charges, etc. That story came out today, is making the rounds in the foreign press, but only US outlet to pick it up so far is US Newswire and Voice of America

Here's a link:

9. camps and dentention centers = concentration camps

I am going to refer to any prisons of war still kept in iraq after june 30 as living in concentration camps. Guantamo and the other secret prison are concentration camps.....they are not treating these people as POWs therefore it is a concentration camp and

We must get that word into the press in reference to theses camps. Just like we had to get them to use torture instead of Abuse.

15. Rumsfeld claims he/she was treated humanely.

But I'd like to see someone interview this mystery prisoner and ask him/her personally. I wouldn't take Ted Bundy's word on how well he treated his captives.
