Is the US using prison ships now?

First a “Gulag,” and now prison ships. Of course the US government has trained dictators they have installed to do these things, but now the US is suspected for doing it directly. This underlines why there needs to be an independent International investigation into these matters right away.

US faces prison ship allegations

  • The United Nations says it has learned
    of serious allegations that the US is secretly
    detaining terrorism suspects, notably on
    American military ships.

Y’know, some folks will trash this article 'cause it’s an accusation based on nothing but rumors, while others will defend it by saying that even rumors should be investigated. Until more info is available, this will just generate more bickering.

(I tend to fall on the “investigate it” side, myself.)

You’re right, but my purpose in posting it is to add evidence to why there needs to be an independent investigation of this stuff. Some folks (on other threads) were arguing that investigations aren’t worth bothering with, and others that the US Military’s investigations were adequate. This sort of thing indicates that the US lacks the credibility to investigate itself.

I fall on the “jGilder should just shut up” side.

This same argument, in subtly different forms, is held on this forum every other day.

Thank you Bill O’Reilly.

You’re welcome, Rosie O’Donnell.

I did an image search for O’Reilly. Look what I found.

I’m more offended at your original remark now.

Why?..

What have you got against green…

Slan,

Nothing, but I have a lot against the ugly hat. :imp:

Is that a little lambchop doll hanging in the background? :boggle:

Wer im Glashaus sitzt sollte nicht mit Steinen werfen. :roll:

:laughing:

Shattering statement, but I can see right through that, Bloomfield.

:confused:

Hmm… People in glass houses should not throw stones?

Paneful.

But what about the poor guys on the prison ships…

Slan,

I don’t think stones work very well against metal ships.

You never see “Titanic” ?

I think cranberry and Bill O’Reilly want them to just SHUT UP! and quit complaining.
