  Posted by theangryindian from Mcclatchydc
  WASHINGTON - The framework under which detainees were imprisoned for years without charges at Guantanamo and in many cases abused in Afghanistan wasn't the product of American military policy or the fault of a few rogue soldiers.

Ransom claim in Ingrid Betancourt release | World news | guardian.co.uk

If Betancourt’s assertions are true, then the United States is once again responsible (at least in part) for the setting up of false ‘heroic rescues’ and similar phenomena.
We should not forget that intitial reports from Iraq claimed that Kurdish forces captured Saddam Hussein, who then turned him over to Coalition forces.
Neither should we forget the Pat Tillman and Jessica Lynch affairs.

Great story. I blog about food issues, and deal with this sort of "information filtering" all the time. This story was the basis of my 4th of July post.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
First of all have you ever been to Madrid or London. Al Qaida will kill any Jew, Christian or Hindu they run across and then reload. A border is not a good defense system for terrorism. Second, the war and the value of the dollar have weakened us. It is just peculiar that it wasn’t Jimmy Carter who did it to us this time. Third of all the US owns the Stanley Cup (ever been to Detroit ?). Forth where is Robert Rubin when we need him most !
