Where's The Outcry?:

"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld admitted Thursday that he approved a request by CIA Director George Tenet to secretly hold a highly valued suspected terrorist in a U.S.-run prison in Iraq."

An anonymous person being held God-knows-where without charge or trial or access to a lawyer or - presumably - contact with family, all because Rumsfeld says he's a bad guy????

Why is this story not front page news on every paper in the world today?

“He has been treated humanely,” Rumsfeld said. “There’s no implication of any problem. He was not at Abu Ghraib. He is not there now. He has never been there, to my knowledge. There’s no question at all about whether or not he’s received humane treatment.”

No problem? Bare-faced violation of the Geneva Convention is "no problem"? And this is "humane treatment"? God help us!
