Poland’s efforts to probe the full details of the CIA-run “black site” hidden on the campus of a northern intelligence academy are still slow going, but there is no real doubt remaining that the previous Polish government conspired to allow the US to operate an illegal torture facility on their territory, and then sought to keep it secret.
The real question is, what is the current Polish government going to do about it. Prosecutors continue to work feverishly to build a case against officials involved in the scandal, former Interior Minister Zbigniew Siemiatkowski is already charged, and plenty more could be coming.
One would think that’s “game over” for the US, which has been caught out in the humiliating scandal, but is still fighting against Polish prosecutors trying to keep the details of their crimes “classified.”
The broad strokes are known. The site was used to “disappear” detainees and to torture them. The US had a special “cage” brought in for some unknown reason. What Polish contractors involved in the facility’s operation knew, when they knew it, and perhaps most importantly what Polish officials were given in return for violating Polish, EU and international law are the big questions still to be revealed.
The line between fascist and democracy is so thin that US and EU are at that line, every social politic and social economic measures for last 25 taken by respective governments is pointing on that direction, the economic situation where millions upon millions of people are without jobs losing what they have and had forced by the event to join army if not for anything but for a warm bed and three time meal a day, police state and police brutality, militarization of the city, state and country police force, the surveillance and spying, creation of Blackwater and alike mercenaries, the empty promises by the politician, the rise of those senators and MP whom are for such idea enforcing their notion in the senate or parliament, the wars and another wars and a non ending wars and Etc. Etc and Etc. The notion that democracy is the only way to go questions the notion: if such democracy is a functioning, has been functioning in social economic and political terms or the word been used and abused where only few have benefited from the concept, democracy has become an empty word for last 25 years if not before, by falsified democrats and liberals alike demolition the idea in Liberalism and Democracy giving more power to their militarism system as no time before.
From 1776 onwards america has always had the policy of torture so it is no revelation now they couldnt give a fiddlers F<'??k and when your colour is other than white check out Baha Mousa in iraq.
What's wrong with secret torture sites in other countries? Our esteemed leaders, Bush and Cheney gave their OK.
Maybe we could make it a tourism destination…… Beautiful Polish Virgins will liven your evenongs with whips and ropes…and cuff your resistance to their probing fingers….. till you pop the question of something else ……………. JDonald can be the first guest…. with a Chainey O.K.!!!!!
Glad Poland has joined the ranks of freedom and democracy.
