And that cold, shrill chill just keeps coming.

If this doesn't scare the begeezus out of you, nothing does:

The United States' Disappeared: The CIA's long-term "Ghost Detainees."

Disappeared? Disappeared?

Okay, yesterday I thought the video "What Barry Says" was a bit over the top. Amazingly pretty and effective bit of graphics. Today, I'm not so sure. Watch: What Barry Says.

The report was very disturbing, so I went looking for information on the organization that produced it, Human Rights Watch. There's very little available, but I was rather surprised to find only one negative view of them, on this page." (http://web.inter.nl.net/users/Paul.Treanor/HRW.html) Given that the page essentially implies that the HRW has an attidude of "The US can do no wrong," and the report is proof that this is not the case, then I have to conclude that either a)the author of the page is thoroughly biased to the point of ignoring fact in favor of his own fantasy, or b)the recent offenses of our gov't are so extreme that even such a biased organization can't put a good spin on them. I found nothing to discredit HRW, though I honestly wish I had. I'd be more comfortable if I could find some reason to think the report exagerated. Thank you for pointing it out.
