In a stunning development, various media outlets are reporting that the NGO Reprieve has information suggestion that the Bush Administration is running prison ships to hold individuals who have been captured via a rendition program:
“The United States is operating “floating prisons” to house those arrested in its war on terror, according to human rights lawyers, who claim there has been an attempt to conceal the numbers and whereabouts of detainees.
Details of ships where detainees have been held and sites allegedly being used in countries across the world have been compiled as the debate over detention without trial intensifies on both sides of the Atlantic. The US government was yesterday urged to list the names and whereabouts of all those detained.”
This news is certain to trigger a renewed global cry of outrage at the actions of the Administration in the “war on terror.”
