CIA Secret Prisons

Oh, don't be fooled by the latest admission by the Bush Administration. This is not about clearing the air on a much debated suspicion. It was well known -- made the news -- and vigorously denied by the Republicans and their supporters. The CIA was taking suspected terrorists to foreign prisons, far from oversight, for questioning. Translation: the beat the fucking truth out of them. Which of course is against American law. But maybe it's alright, after all, those bastards deserve it. Let's just hope that no innocents also disappeared under CIA management.

This announcement by Bush however, surrounded by the families of terrorist victims at the White House, was carefully orchestrated. It was designed to demonstrate to general American sheep that make up most of the voting population -- you know, those that first elected Bush, then handed the country to him for a second term -- that the Republicans are the only ones that can fight terrorism -- and just like the movies, the good guys can and sometimes, must, employ harsh methods to deal with the bad guys.

I predict that the general voting public will lap this up and will hand the Republicans the necessary seats in Congress.

There's a lot to be learned from the Republican party and the Bush Administration. It's not a lesson that most will want to learn however. If you're one of the bad guys however ...
