Allies warn US over CIA's secret jails
The Netherlands has warned Washington that if it continued to "hide" over reports of secret prisons in eastern Europe, Dutch contributions to US-led military missions could be affected, the ANP news agency has reported.

"The US should stop hiding. It will all come out sooner or later," Foreign Minister Ben Bot told the Dutch parliament, according to ANP.
Bot added that the Americans "are on the borderline" in their fight against terrorism. The minister would not say at what point the Netherlands might end their cooperation with the US.

Afghan deployment
"That remains a careful consideration of the importance of fighting terrorism weighed against the respect for human rights," he said.
He stressed that the Netherlands were still working with the US in several operations, in Afghanistan for example.

"We stress the fair treatment of prisoners and adherence to the Geneva Conventions," the minister added. The Dutch government is set to decide next week on a possible new mission to the Afghan province of Uruzgan involving 1100 soldiers.

1. And wow! Poland, Bush's great ally
is going to investigate the possibility that these torture missions set up by Chainsaw Cheney exist in their country. I hope the rest of the "civilized" world does the same and makes it impossible for these criminals to continue their secret practice.

2. Skip The Warnings, Take Cheney To the Hague
The man has had plenty of warnings. And don't bother Bush, he's getting his 10 hours of nightly rest. Do us all a favor, and make history. Make waves. Act, not react.

and Romania - we need 150 Netherlands - each.

The citizens of the United Stataes are powerless because they have no vote. We need the world to say STOP And threaten them the way they threaten the world. Please give No support to their agenda, strategy, tactics. Please be our vote which was stolen.

Who is it that is offended when this regime is compared to the build-up days of Hitler? There are too many similarities including fear by the citizens. The world is in trouble because of these human-like atrocity peddlars who cannot possibly be human.
