CIA JAIL: UPDATE

Just Another Oops or ... They Can Flush Korans, Can’t They?

This time even the American hating/baiting Euro community isn’t buying what the Human Rights Watch (a U.S.-based outfit) reported in the good ol’ Washington Post (WAPO) and the Financial Times.

Both the Polish and Romanian governments rebutted a claim by the papers that there were CIA-run interrogation centers in their countries. The denials were accepted by the European Union commission looking into the charges.

In another unattributed WAPO report, Francisco Franco is still dead.

(Remember that old SNL routine? For those who don’t, ignore the above line; if you don’t know the SNL skit it loses far too much in the re-telling.)

Regardless … how many times can these “stars” of the media world get suckered into anti-Amercan reporting? I guess as long as it stays anti-American, there’ll be a “journalist” willing to write it. You would have thought the deaths – American and otherwise – caused by the flushing-the-Koran-at-Gitmo story in Newsweek would make “journalists” do some background research – like going to Poland or Romania – before reporting inflammatory material. But hey, why should THEY show any responsibility towards their craft.

Oh well.

Hey, maybe they’re lying and there really ARE interrogation centers for suspected terrorists in eastern Europe. Like, maybe, just maybe (he said hopefully) someone IS kicking the crap out of terrorists in CIA-run jails.

Ya think?
