Can you say rendition? I knew you could..

A big cyber hug to Betmo for the 411 on this. From The Guardian:
Information about the operation of prison ships has emerged through a number of sources, including statements from the US military, the Council of Europe and related parliamentary bodies, and the testimonies of prisoners.
The analysis, due to be published this year by the human rights organisation Reprieve, also claims there have been more than 200 new cases of rendition since 2006, when President George Bush declared that the practice had stopped.
Since Georgie lied about torture, it isn’t a stretch to believe he lied about this as well is it?

Yeah, saw that piece yesterday, like to see more corroborating details come out from another source before I go in to full on warpath mode over this, but I wouldn’t put this past Bushliburton.

Yeah, me too BF…but the fact that BushCo lied about torture doesn’t give him one iota of support on this issue.
Georgie can, does, and will continue to lie about whatever he the Decider wants. With that asinine law that passed a couple months ago called the Government openness Act only he can decide what you should know and what you can’t. You can bet you have been lied to from beginning to end and everyone should know that by now. I am sure there are prisoners floatinf around we will never know about. We are today living a lie that is the truth!

I don’t know if you link to divajood but she has a good story on the prison ships i am just about to read.
Of course we link to Diva…she writes here too!
Betmo sent the Guardian piece out to a lot of us and both Diva and I chose to post it.
I just didn’t post it here, because I am juggling too much with Chicago gramma duties.
