Ooh she's peeved

So Condi now admits that terror suspects are flown abroad for interrogation, but denies they are tortured. Supposedly, with that bold and firm statement, she expects that people will believe it. There is a dream world inhabited by the Bushie cabal, In this world, “truth” - that people know and can feel is swept away with the simple denials from mommy and daddy figures like Condi and Donny Rumsfeld. Everyone else is a dope – they always know best. If anyone dares to have the temerity to question a mommy figure like Condi, she has every right to go into hissy fits.

She refused to respond to questions regarding the secret torture prisons. If there were no secret prisons – why not just say so?

We (i.e. American personnel) may not actually torture – but we let and encourage others to do so with a wink and a nod. America doesn't want to get it's hands too dirty.

On Monday, human rights group Amnesty International said that six planes used by the CIA for secret renditions had made 800 flights in EU airspace.
