Perhaps you've seen the Human Rights Watch report or the media coverage of it that describes the Al Qaeda "ghost detainees" as "disappeared" people. This language is not chosen lightly, and was borne of the repressive military regimes that perpetrated state terrorism against their own people, most widely recognized in Argentina with the Madres de Plaza de Mayo.
Turns out that people aren't the only things disapearing in Iraq. Now, let's see, what DID we do with those NUCLEAR assets?!
