Max: CIA holds terror suspects in secret prisons
Via CNN.com:
"The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement, the Washington Post reported.
The secret facility is part of a covert prison system set up by the CIA nearly four years ago that at various times has included sites in eight countries, including Thailand, Afghanistan and several democracies in Eastern Europe, as well as a small center at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, according to current and former intelligence officials and diplomats from three continents, the paper said Tuesday."
I think you would be hard pressed to find someone in this country who would be opposed to detaining and interrogating al Queda operatives. So what are they hiding? What is it they don't want us to know?

I hate watching us (the U.S) turn into that which we fought against in both world wars.
It doesn't have to be this way. We are not as far gone as the Soviet Bloc was. If a peaceful people's revolution could kill that beast, then it can bring openness and freedom to the US. If we can't be bothered to save our country from this mess, then we deserve the gulags.
What do you suggest? How do we start a peaceful people's revolution?
You start by talking to other people. Then you get them to talk to other people. Eventually, you get enough people together to vote the right people into office.
