Oh. The explanation for Congress' closed session surfaces.

Today's Washington Post article about CIA secret prisons scattered around the world.

I guess we now know what Tuesday's closed session in the Senate was about.

The Washington Post would have informed them that this article was coming out on Wednesday: "Do you have anything to add?" I bet the Democrats were pissed.

The two unidentified European countries that have CIA prisons are Poland and Romania. WG just informed me that Poland and Romania are both desperate for US weapons and have been given weapons deals in exchange for their participation in the Iraq war.

I see what you mean. The guys who are attacking you in your journal are really arrogant. They bluster into the conversation like they're God's own experts on the universe.

When they lose a point, they don't acknowledge or take a new tack -- they simply pretend it didn't happen, hoping no one will notice. Instead pull out their pricks to say "mine's bigger!" when that has nothing to do with the subject.

On top of that, every debate point is a personal attack from them, from the start. I've run into people like this but only on the Backpacker forums, which are completely unmoderated.
