35,000 in Secret Prisons | CorrenteWire
Are 35,000 people in America's secret prisons? That is fucking crazy. Is America the new nazi state? Is that a question I shouldn't ask?
35,000 in Secret Prisons | CorrenteWire: "Iâm at the Center for American Progress, listening to Sid Blumenthal and Glenn Greenwald talk about the Imperial Presidency, and one thing is important enough for me to want to live blog. Sid says that Wilkerson, Powellâs old chief of staff, believes that the correct number of victims in secret Bush prisons is 35,000, only %5 of which âmayâ? have to do with terrorism. More than twice what I thought, and hardly any to do with the âwar on terror.â?
