No evidence of U.S. Rendition prisons in Europe.

Rats!

 

Just one more wild charge thrown at Bush that turns out to be a lie.

 

No American Gulags

Media: Reports of secret CIA prisons in Europe where the Bush and Blair governments tortured suspected terrorists caused quite an uproar. But what if those prisons never existed?

 

Would The Washington Post and reporter Dana Priest return the Pulitzer Prize that was awarded just last week for the Post's coverage of those prisons? Not likely. They'd be far more likely to employ the Dan Rather/CBS fake-but-accurate defense.

 

While Priest and the Post bask in the sheen of a just-minted Pulitzer, the European Union's anti-terror chief said Thursday that even after more than 50 hours of testimony he has been unable to confirm a that single secret "rendition" prison exists in Europe.

 

It's noteworthy that it wasn't 50-plus hours of testimony from Bush- and Blair-friendly witnesses. It was from rights advocates and the very people who claim they had been kidnapped by CIA agents.

 

"We've heard all kinds of allegations," Gijs de Vries said in a European Parliament committee hearing. "It does not appear to be proven beyond reasonable doubt."

 

De Vries' admission comes about three months after the Council of Europe, an intergovernmental European human rights and political reform agency, said its own probe could not establish the prisons' existence.

I hope they exist and are being used regularly.

 

 

 

More BS that will be repeated for months and months by lib media w/o any proof.

Yes, they always fire someone for leaking things that aren't true.

They just arrested a CIA agent for disclosing this information to a reporter. They exist.

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Then where are they?

Exactly, Turbin and his minions know they exist, but every commission looking for them say they can't find proof they exist.

They run sting operations all the time with phony information when searching for a leaker. That is just as plausible as any other alternative at this point.

Is this something you think you are right on?

 

Or does this count as a wrongo for you?

If by "any other alternative" you mean "it could also be a plot by the Scientologists to foment unrest so Tom Cruise can take over the country", sure. Otherwise it's laughably weak.

 

Planning on revealing your link anytime soon, RP?

Are you planning on providing any evidence to support your accusations? Surely since everyone knows the prisons exist someone would be able to tell us where at least one of them is located.

You should get more rest if you can't discern any difference between the relative plausibility of a CIA sting to identify a leaker and a "plot by Scientologists".

The Post withheld the names of the countries from its account at the administration's request.

But you're alleging the sting occured on the rendition story, which is ridiculous. If they had stung this woman with a fake rendition story, they would have made it public as soon as it hit the media. Furthermore, how do you propose that they planted the same fake rendition story with multiple sources on three continents, all of whom happened to confirm the story with the media? How did they involve the British Foreign Ministry, who admits CIA planes brought suspects through Britain?

Still can't tell us where even one of these prisons is located?
