How Ironic Choux 11/04/05
    I remember when Senator Durbin (D ILL) made a speech that compared how America treated Islamic prisoners to a Soviet-style gulag.

    Wellll, now we learn that the situation wasn't just a metaphorical gulag, BUT REAL CHAINS OF DETENTIONS CAMPS IN EASTERN EUROPE....LITERAL GULAGS!!!

      Clarification/Follow-up by tomder55 on 11/05/05 5:18 am:
      I'm telling you the comparison is rediculous. The total deaths in the gulag system was more than 1,600,000.Not including more than 800,000 executions
      of "counterrevolutionaries" during the period of the "Great Terror". You make a big mistake in playing this moral equivalence game. There is a difference between stacking naked prisoners in a pyramid (which in itself went too far since there were convictions over the practive ) and putting a prisoner in a meat grinder as Saddam frequently did .

      The existance of black op sites is hardly new. What is new is that a covert site has been outed . I demand an investigation over who leaked it. I want to see the whole staff at the Washington Compost frog marched to jail .

      what do you want there? has to be some give and take in detante, you gave them McDonalds, they gave you Gulags, that seems a fair exchange to me, non food for non release

      Clarification/Follow-up by paraclete on 11/07/05 12:55 am:
      ASIS, Tom, the invisable organisation. I'm suprised you even know they exist., Sssssshhhhhh! These fellows are more secret than MI6. Their existence has been suspected for years, but never have any facts emerged to support the theory. This is black ops at it's best.
