Oh. The explanation for Congress' closed session surfaces.

[icarus]

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.

It's probably more safe to say "Polish and Romanian governments", eh?:) Anyway, we simple citizens of Poland know nothing about secret prisons and CIA planes landing on our airports - which doesn't necessarily mean it's all rubbish. Plus the anti-war protests were pretty strong here in Warsaw, not that many people really cared because it all seemed so distant and surreal, even though it sounded quite good for some of the so called patriots: "The United States, Great Britain AND POland are waging war against terrorism".
Geez.

I wonder what is going to happen now that the whole politic scene after the elections is right-wing and even more right-wing (read: ultra-catholic, nationalistic and populist). I really hate this country sometimes and now I'm going to hate it even more for the next 4 or 5 years.

When my parents immigrated to this country, it was to get away from governments who did this. It is just horrid, simply sickening.

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.

If this is true, then it's a terrible, horrible pity. Poland and Romania have sold themselves cheap.

Do you think that this is in retaliation for the Valerie Wilson leak? The Bush administration has been dissing the CIA, and the CIA just said, "Enough."

Except for that Poland pulled their troops, and there's been a confusion with following up with a contract on both sides.

*blinks* Oh.

Is it just me or is the United States fucking the whole world up to protect themselves? In really stupid ways? From really inane things?
