The Latest in the US Gulags, Prison Ships

Delightful. They are now apparently using prison ships outside of territorial waters in order to avoid the scrutiny of human rights activists:
The United States is operating "floating prisons" to house those arrested in its war on terror, according to human rights lawyers, who claim there has been an attempt to conceal the numbers and whereabouts of detainees.

....

The analysis, due to be published this year by the human rights organisation Reprieve, also claims there have been more than 200 new cases of rendition since 2006, when President George Bush declared that the practice had stopped.
The Hague, bitches, the Hague.

Bush and His Evil Minions need to spend the rest of their lives in foreign prisons under the international criminal court. It's the only way that this can be resolved now, because we lack the political will to prosecute this ourselves.
