While the accusations were rumours, rapporteur Manfred Nowak said the situation was sufficiently serious to merit an official inquiry.
"There are very, very serious accusations that the United States is maintaining secret camps, notably on ships," the Austrian UN official told AFP, adding that the vessels were believed to be in the Indian Ocean region.
"They are only rumours, but they appear sufficiently well-based to merit an official inquiry," he added.
Only rumors? Some might say this is ridiculous and insufficient to warrant notice.
Egad man. Are you ignorant of the ways of the international community? A rapporteur needs nothing more to accuse America. The international community knows America is guilty of every crime under the Sun--it but needs an accusation to spring into action.
These aren't just rumors, by the way. I have found documentary evidence of the practice of holding prisoners on board American warships. This tells the story of one prisoner--actually an American!--held on one American corvette, where he died in our custody!
Read it and be very afraid of the Bushitlerashitlercroftnazilibraryrecordreadingstoletheohioelectionsin 2004andfloridain2000andjustwhydoesn'tthemediacoverthisdiebold stealingepisode regime. I think this is sufficiently serious to justify an immediate faux congressional hearing and perhaps a documentary or two.
Oh, and bongos and giant puppets. Lots of puppets.
The horror ...
