Many news sources have reported the Human Rights report
about CIA secret prisons operating in Poland, Romania,
and likely other locations around the world.

Today, June 8, 2007, Italy begins court proceedings that
will put 26 CIA agents on trial in abstentia for kidnapping
persons in Italy and transporting them to secret prisons
in locations where torture and denial of human rights
could be practiced covertly by the USA.
The Human Rights report about the CIA activities reveals
how torture is used by the United States. Complex cover ups
attempt to cloak the transportation of people taken into
custody by the CIA. Some people are still "missing."
America, I no longer know you. The intelligent civilian
should be horrified and aghast at the criminal and barbaric
behavior of a leading intelligence and law enforcement
agency of the United States of America.
Human Rights groups are to be praised for their
investigative work in obtaining sufficient documentation to
reveal these unacceptable - and unamerican - activities.
The idea that America has officially been engaged in such
activities brings shame upon the government of the United
States of America. No justification can be presented for
these actions. This is a betrayal of trust to the American
people and a disgrace which will not be soon forgotten.
The stain of kidnapping and torturing people in secret
foreign prisons will not be washed off of the American flag.
It is now part of a shameful history.
The American people must rise up and demand this cease
immediately. If we do not as a nation correct this policy,
it will continue to destroy our nation like a cancer.
Yes, it can happen. And it will.
Our nation was founded on principles. Our nation has
agreed to international treaties. Our leaders were elected
to represent what the United States stands for. We do not
stand for secret torture chambers run by the CIA.
What we are reading about today is pure fascism practiced
blatantly by the United States and nothing less. Are we
as a nation agreeable to allowing our country to become
an international outlaw, a bully, and a grievous violator
of human rights and treaties? I hope not.
The CIA must be restrained by powers and agencies
within the United States immediately. The person who gave
the CIA the authorization to engage in such actions must
be brought to task as well. That could be no one other than
George W. Bush. Mr. President, what have you done?!
The outrage must be within all Americans if there is
any hope of regaining our principles and thus recapturing
our true nation.
These activities have a way of becoming so acceptable
that they spread. First, "detainees." Who is next?
Political opponents? Social undesirables? Maybe me,
maybe you.
It will not end until the American people make it end.
Intelligent civilians, contact your elected officials
TODAY and voice a demand that the United States
and all of its agencies return to the principles upon
which our country has been founded.
If we don't do this today, there may not
be a tomorrow to make this change. Tomorrow, there might
not be free speech and a democratic process for change.
Yes, that can happen here and it can happen now.
We are seeing the writing on the wall.
Can you read it?
