Coming up next, how all those who aren't signed on with the 1600 Crew program are part of "Old Europe".
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice chastised Europe leaders today, saying that before they complain about secret jails for terror suspects in European nations, they should realize that interrogations of these suspects have produced information that helped "save European lives."
...
"We must bring terrorists to justice wherever possible," she said. "But there have been many cases where the local government cannot detain or prosecute a suspect, and traditional extradition is not a good option.
"In those cases," she added, "the local government can make the sovereign choice to cooperate in the transfer of a suspect to a third country, which is known as a rendition.
"Sometimes, these efforts are misunderstood," she said.
"Misunderstood"? "Justice"? Funny, I think I understand this perfectly well, and none of it has a fucking thing to do with "Justice". Is that ignorant skanky shill going to explain how this "Justice" system works? Thought not, because it's impossible to defend the indefensible.
She made an effort to frame the debate as one over the effectiveness of terror enforcement and not over the propriety of holding suspects indefinitely in secret prisons.
"We consider the captured members of Al Qaeda and its allies to be unlawful combatants who may be held, in accordance with the law of war, to keep them from killing innocents," she said. "We must bring terrorists to justice wherever possible."
There it is again, the misuse of the word "Justice" again, unless of course we're talking about 1600 Crew "Justice", which is likely the same standard of justice applied so judiciously in Lubyanka ... a bullet at the base of the skull, followed by burial in an unmarked paupers grave, or maybe the corpse disposal method practiced by Grampaw Prescott's favorite European Buddies: an anonymous crematory. Seems his grandson is well on his way to forming the Leibstandarte Smirking Bunnypants, one injustice at a time.
And remember: the 1600 Crew is so honest and forthcoming about everything it's OKeyBeDokey to just "trust them" on this, and all the Terra™ attacks they've prevented, because they were so right about the WMD's in Iraq.
Fuckers.

Oh, for Christ sake, lady, if you KNOW they're terrorist bring them into a court of law and try their ass. Otherwise, stop doing this shit in my name. How many Iraqis have we converted to the dark side because we either killed or imprisoned them or one of their family or freinds? I'm sure all this makes perfect sense to the right, but then alot of them are missing bullshit detectors anyway.
I couldn't even read her speech fully as my risinf blood pressure would have surely killed me if I had done so.
It makes me sick to think this woman can enter my country and lecture to us on how wonderful the US is without being arrested for war crimes. It's about time European politicians stood up to these pricks and told them exacctly where to shove their detention centers.

Can I say "Whore of Babylon" here? Because that's what she sounds like. Trying to seduce the governments of the world with weasel words.
Justice will come with the end of the 'Rein of Bush'.
