Bush Aknowledges Existence of Secret CIA Prisons

They have a better life in our prison camps than in their home country.
They should be happy and appreciate our generosity.
Free meals, etc, heck, they have it better than our own people on welfare.

toss me in any day, I have nothing to hide. I have never aided or had anything to do with any type of terrorism so yea. Plus, I am white, so they won't hurt me.

That statement isn't correct. You don't know what country they are from.

Yah somehow I doubt you would last long in a prison. White people don't hurt other white people? Sure they don't. It's amazing to see how ignorant your statement is.

Take the Stanford Prison Experiment by Zimbardo, it's a pretty famous psychological experiment. He recruited normal mentally healthy and stable men, mostly young white men, he assigned them the status of either guard or prisoner, put the prisoners in a basement in the University where they were to stay there for a few days.

The guards were briefed by Zimbardo with the following.

"You can create in the prisoners' feelings of boredom, a sense of fear to some degree, you can create a notion of arbitrariness that their life is totally controlled by us, by the system, you, me, and they'll have no privacy... We're going to take away their individuality in various ways. In general what all this leads to is a sense of powerlessness. That is, in this situation we'll have all the power and they'll have none. ? The Stanford Prison Study video, quoted in Haslam & Reicher, 2003.

The prisoners accepted the inhumane treatment by the guards, and some even didn't realize that they were part of an experiment. The prisoners would call each other by their prison number that was assigned to them and also sewn on their prison uniform. Two prisoners suffered so much trauma that they had to be removed from the experiment and replaced.

The experiment was to be conducted for two weeks but was stopped after 6 days after the realization of the unethical nature of it.

Anyhow point being, when you are in a situation such as being a prisoner, in a secret prison, anything can happen. There is no way to predict how you would behave, how your imprisoners will treat you, and whether you will be given your legal rights by the US and by International law. In the experiment physical violence towards the prisoners was never administered, so how do you think a real prison is going to be?

You say you'd be unharmed if thrown into a prison, but you'd probably cry like a baby, and wonder why you were there to begin with. Stop fooling yourself into thinking you have any notions of what it's like to be in a prisoners shoes, let alone a secret prison.

That's all your posts seem to be thus far, ramblings and words without deep thought. I never claimed CIA prisons are worse than being held by a terrorist group, however I wouldn't wish neither of those upon the innocent.

A better qestions is which ones aren't we violating.

How ironic, we are guilty of violating some of the same treaties we helped create in regards to the treatment of prisoners.

A treaty is only meant for those who are ruled by them, and not for the creator. Thus the general hypocrisy of US policy.

Just asking you to justify your statement, If you don't want to answer just say so. You don't have to beat around the Bush, pun intended.
Again so it's ok for them to violate others but not for us to violate them? If we are doing so in the first place? I've not seen any evidence of such? Got any?

The arguement that " It's ok for them to do so we should be able to do it " makes us no better than they are in regards to the treatment of prisoners.

If they are secret holding facilities, how would you know?:wtf:
