ooops.

They are probably in the same place that the billions of unaccounted for dollars that were sent to Iraq are.

Human Rights

There absolutely must be an accounting for these missing people. If the CIA or any government or its agenecies makes people "Dissappear" without account, explanation, or due process AND we do not call them on it, then we are complicit in the crime and can be certain that this abuse will continue to occur again and again. No one will be safe. No one will dare speak out. Free speech, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness depend and rely on basic human rights. To ignore this will come at our own peril.

Read what our Constitution guarantees for us here:

The CIA and our government must be called into account for this violation and those missing persons must be found.
Remember fellow citizens, our government serves ONLY at the pleasure of the public. Never forget that it must be accountable to We The People first and foremost. When public servants violate their sacred oath to honor, protect, serve and defend our Constitution, they are betraying "We The People" and must be held accountable for their abuses. If we accept less, I guarantee you we will get less.
Know your rights. Stand up for your rights. Don't settle for less.

The CIA has great experience in helping people

"disappear". They taught Pinochet how to do it efficiently on a large scale.

WORLD: "What Will We Tell The Children?"

US: "Um, what children?"

Bush/US accused of 'disappearing' children.
by Lisa Lockwood
Both Amnesty International, and Human Rights watch, among other groups, have filed a lawsuit against the United States government, seeking information under the Freedom of Information Act about people who have vanished and are suspected of being held in secret detainment prisons while being questioned in the GWOT.

Among the cases detailed in the report is the detention in September 2002 of two children, then aged seven and nine, of confessed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who was later detained and is now held at Guantanamo.
"According to eyewitnesses, the two were held in an adult detention center for at least four months while U.S. agents questioned the children about their father's whereabouts.

Interestingly enough, the Houston Chronicle and the New York Times now have the story up, but they have omitted any mention of the children being imprisoned. History being rewritten as we watch.
Sadly, even on Huffington Post, which front paged the story, the children are forgotten.
From UK/The Guardian:

The list also includes a number of children, including the two young sons of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. The two boys have not been seen by family members since they were detained in Pakistan almost five years ago during a raid in search of their father.If accurate, the report flatly contradicts assurances given by President Bush that the CIA's secret detention programme has been closed down and all the agency's prisoners handed moved to Guantánamo Bay.

We are now reduced to kidnapping and imprisoning children to pressure parents into 'confessing' whatever suspected activities their interogators wish to hear about...

This is sickening.

I'm filing that in the folder marked: "Understatement of the Day".

If that makes you sick, then you certainly don't want to hear John Yoo's take on the issue...

Cassel: If the President deems that he’s got to torture somebody, including by crushing the testicles of the person’s child, there is no law that can stop him?
Yoo: No treaty.
Cassel: Also no law by Congress. That is what you wrote in the August 2002 memo.
Yoo: I think it depends on why the President thinks he needs to do that.

jedi mind trick...

The GOP is using the old Jedi mind trick...

"These aren't the detainees your looking for...move along!"

Works great on weak-minded conservatives and inattentive American population.

-- If it hurts, it's probably true --

If you want to

appease the liberals in this situation, just refer to these guys as undocumented existers. They understand and respond to euphemisms.

I'm not laughing.

It wasn't funny when Reagan's "Evil Empire" did it. It wasn't funny when the Chi-Coms did it... and it's even less funny when America, THAT USED TO STAND FOR SOMETHING, does it.

FUCK YOU!

Ah... the rule of law... I kinda miss it sometimes.
