   Diego Garcia.   
      
      
   Condoleeza Rice is coming to Europe. 'Rendition' - i.e. US State   
   kidnappings and torture - is a big story.   
      
   Remember 'strategic hamlets' in Vietnam?   
      
   US propagandists are focusing 'discussion' on distractions, e.g.   
      
   - the model numbers of the aircraft involved   
   - the exact number of flights through such-and-such an airport   
      
   (Same sort of 'snow job' is going on re. nuclear power).   
      
   Well, the US torture camp on UK soil HAS been exposed. It's NOT secret   
   any more.   
      
   It's just that the running-dog western press have been told hardly ever   
   to mention it. And certainly not to mention it anywhere near words such   
   as 'illegal', 'war crimes', and 'international trial'.   
      
   And yes, UK officials are just as guilty as their US chums. No need to   
   get a quote from some SIS-friendly law chambers to understand that.   
      
   Editors are being careful not to say any prisoners have been held on   
   British soil. They mention only 'refuelling' at 'airports'. Got that,   
   old boy?   
      
   See what they're doing? It's like 'cash for questions'.   
      
   So: which journalist will have the guts to ask Condoleeza Rice about the   
   US torture camp on UK soil in Diego Garcia?   
      
   I'll repeat: US TORTURE CAMP ON BRITISH SOIL, IN DIEGO GARCIA.   
      
   Or maybe an SIS officer will place a question or article, and forget   
   about keeping in the good books of his Langley-paid superiors? Come on.   
   Miss a promotion? Get your own back!

               give Coca-Cola to your scum, and your best teddy-bear to   
               Oxfam, and expect us to lick your frigid fingers for the   
               rest of your frigid life." (Mick Travis, 'If...', 1968)
