• Secret CIA prison in Poland: Leaders break their silence
    58 replies, posted
[release]After many revelations and political statements, Polish leaders have come closer than ever to acknowledging that the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) ran a secret interrogation facility for terror suspects in 2002 and 2003 in the Eastern European country, according to the Associated Press. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Thursday that his country has become the "political victim" of leaks from US officials that brought to light aspects of the secret CIA prison. Former chief of Poland's intelligence services (UW) Zbigniew Siemiatkowski confirmed earlier this week that prosecutors told him during a January meeting that they were going to lay charges against him for "unlawful deprivation of liberty" and "corporal punishment" against prisoners-of-war in relation to the secret CIA prison, reported Polish site The News. Two prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri and Abu Zubaydah, said they had been held in a prison in Poland and have been given "victim status" by prosecutors in Warsaw. "This may be painful, but concrete evidence that Poland is no longer a country where politicians can fix something under the table and expect it not to [eventually] come out — even if they do so with the world’s greatest superpower," Tusk said when asked for his reaction to the news that a former intelligence services chief will face charges connected to the CIA cover-up, according to The News. Tusk's statement sounded like an admission that Poland allowed the US to run the secret prison to some, reported the AP. Terror suspects are said to have been subjected to harsh interrogation tactics that human rights groups consider torture while at the Polish prison.[/release] [img]http://www.globalpost.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/gp3_small_article/donald-tusk-poland-2012-03-29.jpg[/img] [i]Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has promised to get to the bottom of allegations that his country played a role in the operation of a secret CIA prison on Polish soil where Al Qaeda suspects were interrogated. [/i] holy shit. this is scary as fuck

As George Bush said, don't forget about Poland. He was trying to tell us something.
It's funny that people still think all parts of the Government are inept. The CIA clearly knows what it is doing, and petty things like morality and human decency will not stop them from advancing the United States' goals in the world. That said, this is very scary.
op will mysteriously dissapear

It is a great shame that George W. Bush and several members of his administration haven't been indicted for war crimes. The actions of that administration are the only things in all of America's history that make me truly ashamed to be American.

The funny thing is, is the CIA isn't even close to as scary as the NSA.

Not to mention all the other shit I don't wanna even get into.
I like how Americans call us a key allies, yet we still get rammed up in the ass by them.
Remember when Obama was going to close Guantanamo Bay guys? Guys? On March 7, 2011 President Obama gave the green light to resume military trials, conducted by military officers, with a military judge presiding, of terror suspects detained at Guantánamo Bay. [b]He also signed an executive order[/b] that moved to set into law the already existing practice on Guantánamo of [b]holding detainees indefinitely without charge.[/b] [URL]http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/mar/08/guantanamo-bay-obama-administration[/URL] [URL]http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/07/guantanamo-military-terrorism-trials-resume[/URL]
Wasn't his decision to close Guantanamo Bay cockblocked by all the lobbies and republican douchies all around, and he had to give it up in order to keep his seat ? [editline]1st April 2012[/editline] Just like obamacare ?
It's called compromise. Even Obama has to do it sometimes. Well actually that is how he does everything.

It's sad but if Obama decided to really close Guantanamo Bay against the opinion of all the republican lobbies and such, he wouldn't have been able to do anything else for the following 4 years and wouldn't even have been able to present himself again at the following elections.
America is truly the Zapp Brannigan of the world.
Secret government prisons are such a fucking terrifying thing. What the fuck ever happened to Habeas Corpus?

Everyone who says "OMG HOLY FUCK" is stupid. Its no big surprise, we do dirty things. So does every other god damn country on the planet.

WW2 was a horrible incident, let it never happen again.
