"The US military has begun notifying the Red Cross of the identities of terror suspects being held at secret camps in Iraq and Afghanistan, reports say. ["secret camps" where's the outrage? ed.]
The Red Cross, which has lobbied the Pentagon for years to give its staff access to all detention facilities, declined to confirm the changes.
The policy reportedly took effect this month with no public announcement. "
Now, I wonder why that would be?
This bit is revealing.
"Dozens of suspected foreign fighters captured in Iraq and Afghanistan are being held at so-called "temporary screening camps" run by US special forces at secret locations in Balad in Iraq and Bagram in Afghanistan. "
"Foreign fighters" in Iraq and Afghanistan? Now who might they be?
Why would the Pentagon want to keep their names secret anyway?
"The Pentagon has previously said that providing information about these detainees could jeopardize counter-terrorism efforts."
It would seem then, that Obama no longer cares about such efforts.
