Yet another piece of evidence in the moutain of impeachable offenses commited by Bush.

The fax that reveals the US is flying terror suspects to Europe's secret jails


SPECIAL REPORT: By Neil Mackay, Investigations Editor


THE intercepted top-secret fax contained information that Amer ica never wanted the world to know -- that the US was holding war-on-terror captives at clandestine -black site- prisons in eastern Europe.

The fax, datelined November 10, 2005, 8.24pm, was sent by the Egyptian foreign minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit, in Cairo, to his ambassador in London. It revealed that the US had detained at least 23 Iraqi and Afghani captives at a military base called Mihail Kogalniceanu in Romania, and added that similar secret prisons were also to be found in Poland, Ukraine, Kosovo, Macedonia and Bulgaria.

The discovery of the fax seriously undermines the US's denial that it has ever used secret detention facilities, breaching international law. It also adds to the pressure for the release of information on "extraordinary renditions". These rendition flights see kidnapped terror suspects taken by the CIA to countries where torture is common, such as Uzbekistan. British intelligence has supported this practice and UK airports, particulary Prestwick, have given CIA jets logistical support.

The Council of Europe last week published the results of its long-running investigation into rendition and found that 14 European countries, including Britain, had colluded with the CIA. It also suggested that secret prisons were operating in eastern Europe, but did not have conclusive proof.

The fax, intercepted by Swiss intelligence, indicates that Egypt has such proof. It is headed: "The Egyptians have access to sources which confirm the existence of American secret prisons". http://www.sundayherald.com/56171

It would be a real blogger's coup if you could get an inside story from one of those camps. Let's get you into any country with "-stan" at the end and just start being yourself.

The mighty Pelican Gulfstream will streak down to whisk you back to reality.

Neil Mackay also writes for Truthout.org and you know what they are famous for! The Rove indictment story - which they are still clinging on to!

Patsy you're such a gullible fool, you should be embarrassed exposing your stupidity by posting this trash. What's next - are you going to start posting articles out of the National Enquirer? How about some horoscopes?

Well then; with compelling evidence such as this, we should get to work.

I hear there are secret prisons in:
draculas castle
the head of the sphinx
the basement of the Alamo
Tom Sawyers' cave at Disney World
the second moon of uranus

Wow...a fax in 2005. I think the last time I actually faxed something was back in 95....

When you're old enough to buy a house, you'll fax plenty.

In the business world, faxing documents is still commonplace.

A few years back (4 to be exact) I signed papers for the purchase of a piece of property. I was in Alabama and the property was in Arizona.

Between buying this house in South Carolina and settling up the house in California, and several sets of incorrect documents from the mortgage bank, we probably fax'ed nearly 200 pages of documents, or maybe more.

Then it's time to fire your mortgage banker and wise up.

Yep. Two mortgages in the past 7 years - no faxes.
