so called CIA SECRET PRISONS in THAILAND …

First, where is this so called CIA Secret prison? If it has been in place since 2001 or
2002, some of us have seen the unmarked helicopters or business jets landing
at all hours at a military base. It would have to have runway access and be
only a short drive to the holding facility. I suspect that the “secret
prison” would be in an existing prison or a highly secure area within a
military base. The outer perimeter would have to be guarded by Thai Special
Forces that obviously have the ability to keep their mouths shut for the
past six years. No conscripts would have access to this very special area
which would further complicate matters and people would begin to talk about
it like ” Area 51″ where the USA keeps their captured flying sauces and
detainees from other planets.

Waterboarding is just one tool in a box of special tools used to extract
information from a recalcitrant individual. Simulating drowning could be a
theatrical demonstration of officials appearing to drown a suspect who is
actually one of the team. That alone will loosen up some of the terrorists
if he “thinks” he is next.

Perhaps these seemingly out of control employees or contractors are doing
exactly what they are supposed to do thus giving plausible deniability to
their controllers. Maybe not but I’m just saying…

When this prison was allegedly created in 2001 or 2002 Thailand had a very
powerful democratically elected government in place. Billions of dollars
were flowing into Thailand from the USA in the form of foreign aid and
especially military arms and equipment. Something we don’t hear too much
about and it is something the current non-elected government conveniently
never mentions. I have a bit of experience here so I’m convinced that a
select few in the upper reaches of the government was approached by the
coalition to facilitate the request. Keep in mind that current military
government must have had a hand in this too even if they were just acting on
“orders” from above. The logistics were worked out and the alleged prison
would have been set up using specific guidelines provided to the Thai
government by [fill in the blank].

When the Washington Post published the article about the “secret prisons” in
2005 there were denials all around. What part of “secret” is confusing
people. Of course the fact that the prison existed here is going to be
denied. In 2005 the story faded from the scene. I’m not so sure that is
going to happen in 2008. Now we have more disgruntled patriots coming out of
their respective holes in the ground expressing mock outrage. The old adage,
“When more than one person knows something it is not longer a secret”, seems
to apply here. Now a high ranking CIA lawyer is telling a “closed”
congressional committee panel that the Thai “secret prison” did or does
exist. The people in the room rushed out to tell whomever they owe about the
prison and the tiger is now out of the cage.

Without the heavy participation of the last two Thai governments this would
not have occurred here. Thailand has a long history of cooperation with the
United States and who know what was promised in return for their cooperation
and active involvement, its a secret …
