DEMOCRACY NOW! had this story on Friday, and it's still stuck in my head.  It's an issue that occasionally will get some coverage, but not nearly enough.  I hate it when things like this happen in my name.  Here's a taste:

"Meanwhile in Europe, the Spanish government has admitted Spain may have been used as a stopover for secret CIA flights in the practice of transferring prisoners known as extraordinary rendition - what others call kidnapping. The news comes a week after President Bush acknowledged for the first time that the CIA has been operating a secret network of overseas prisons. "

Full (rush) transcript here.

    Thats definately unbelievable, and I'm pretty sure it's an issue most americans don't pay attention to. They kind of browse over the article and think "hmm... well they arent completely sure if it's true" yet the country I'm supposed to be proud of and representing is doing such shameful things

About Me

Washington, DC USA

28yo member of the vast leftwing conspiracy. Oh, wait. I mean, I work for Greenpeace. I'm a "Media Officer," which means I try to get Greenpeace and its campaigns into the news (and other) media. I am based out of Greenpeace's Washington, D.C. office, where I also live and play. This blog's about just about everything, but also Greenpeace's presence in our nation's very fair and even more balanced news media. Hope you enjoy the ride, so buckle up.
