GUANTÁNAMO
The bland leading the blind: Do the depicted (and all the others) worshipful ‘journalistic’ enablers and stenographers (and those who stuporifically lap up their feel-good muck) sleep with the rose-colored glasses on as well?
Too many threads lead directly to Pakistan (which, need we be reminded, has in stock nuclear weapons and know-how) as a nexus.
Pakistani authorities have illegally sent hundreds of Pakistanis and foreigners to prisons or handed them to the United States for money, said a report released Friday by Amnesty International.
“Bounty hunters, including police officers and local people, have captured individuals of different nationalities, often apparently at random, and sold them into U.S. custody,” said Claudio Cordone, the senior director of research at the human rights organization.
The report is based on a number of interviews with former detainees, including citizens from Bahrain, Australia, Britain, Ethiopia and Sweden, who say they were illegally abducted while in Pakistan and handed over to American authorities.
