Update: The Real CIA

I saw this statement by Condoleezza Rice while browsing the news today.

Throughout Monday, Rice refused any outright answer to the underlying question European governments have asked: Did the United States run clandestine detention sites on the continent?
"Were I to confirm or deny, say yes or say no, then I would be compromising intelligence information, and I'm not going to do that," she said on her plane to Germany. -source can be found here at the time of writting http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2005-12/06/content_500870.htm

This seems to be more proof that the prisons exist or existed at one time since something that does not exist cannot be compromised.

In Answer to a Question

In answer to a question posed by The Don I reply that I do not believe all prisons to be immoral. I believe the CIA's prisons to be immoral because they are secret and on foreign soil so as to avoid the Geneva Conventions. The CIA could very easily be torturing people in these installations since there is no one to oversee that the prisoners are being treated properly. In addition to this the United States is a country that believes strongly in justice yet we do not appear to believe other human beings should have the same rights as ourselves. We deny the people being held in places like Guantanamo the same basic rights to trial as we possess. Whether or not these people are guilty of causing us harm we are giving them good reason to do so by viewing them as something worth less than our own human lives. If we granted them the rights we give ourselves giving them fair trials and decent treatment then I would have no problem with holding the ones found guilty in prisons that would have no need of secrecy. Such treatment guarantees the best we can do to ensure fair punishment of the guilty and minimization of harm to the innocent. The problem of treating prisoners as less deserving than of human beings is something that we do to American citizens not just those of other nationalities. Those who are convicted of felonies are denied the right to vote in many states. Instead of including people we reject them. This gives these people no reason to listen to us or change since they have no say in their government. Who would pay taxes if they had no say in how those were spent? Who would obey a law when having no say in its making? As human beings we should be better people than to strip the rights of others away. This is my answer.

The Real CIA

Well if anyone didn't already know the Washington Post reported that the CIA has allegedly been keeping captured terror suspects in secret East European prisons. Suspected locations of these prisons are in Poland and Romania. The EU and human rights organizations such as the Red Cross are investigating. Such prisons are illegal and in my opinion immoral. I don’t really have anything more to say about this other than a request to anyone out there. If you know where these prisons are located please spread your information online. Blog about it or something so that everyone knows. The sooner the locations are exposed the sooner these prisons can be shut down. Hopefully, some of the bastards who are operating them will be tried for it too. To hell with the damned CIA and their classified information.
