Memo Lets CIA Take Detainees Out of Iraq

Practice Is Called Serious Breach of Geneva Conventions

By Dana Priest
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, October 24, 2004; Page A01

At the request of the CIA, the Justice Department drafted a confidential memo that authorizes the agency to transfer detainees out of Iraq for interrogation -- a practice that international legal specialists say contravenes the Geneva Conventions.

One intelligence official familiar with the operation said the CIA has used the March draft memo as legal support for secretly transporting as many as a dozen detainees out of Iraq in the last six months. The agency has concealed the detainees from the International Committee of the Red Cross and other authorities, the official said.

I can't help wondering if they didn't drug them, roll'em up in an old carpet, and pack'em out on a tramp steamer like in the movies.

Unfortunately Bush voters don't know what the Geneva convention is, let alone understand why we have it.

Probably to Cuba. Might as well beat the F out of them in a
place that is supposed to be the land of your enemy and
not the land you're saving.
